- Stephen Hough-pianist, composer, writer and author-discusses the effect of the pandemic on musician’s bank balances, its impact on international touring, and reflects on how the industry might change as it seeks to re-establish live performance in a post-COVID world.
Named by The Economist as one of "Twenty Living Polymaths," Hough’s career took off after winning first prize at the 1983 Naumburg Competition in New York. An acclaimed concert pianist with a discography of over 60 titles, Hough currently resides in London and is a regular visitor to the U.S. where he is a member of the faculty at The Juilliard School. Last year he was the first musician to return to the concert platform as part London’s Wigmore Hall.
Putting forward some good ideas for the future. Length and time of concerts and more accessibility.
I’m sorry, why is someone with a posh Sloane Ranger accent doing interviews for Musical America? Just wondering how many Americans are doing interviews for the BBC?
Perhaps you missed that he is on the faculty at The Julliard School, which is in the U.S. Not to mention that he is world renowned and performs in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world.
@@joneisenberg7877 Didn’t miss anything. I was referring to the interviewer, not Hough. I doubt that there are any Americans in similar positions in the UK arts press.
I think that, as an American, you have misheard his accent! He is NOT in any way "posh", nor a "Sloane Ranger": he is a very ordinary person, who is heard far too much on radio etc. There are countless players better than Hiuff who don't get a look in!
The over exposure of this pianist makes me sick: there are hosts of players better than he, yet they don't get a look in!
