I have been steeped in classical music for the last 60 years. I heard parts of your Durham Concerto on Classic FM, liked what I heard and bought the CD. I have to tell you that I consider your concerto to be great music – I mean great music in the same sense that Beethoven’s and Wagner’s music is great. I was staggered that you could produce such a wonderful composition so soon in your classical career. A major problem for me is how to get your haunting themes out of my head! I do not see that you intend composing more of this music. Please – a symphony. It is absolutely clear you have this great gift so please let us have more of this splendid truly classical and great work from you.
Best wishes Len Beard

Over the years I’ve enjoyed your solo albums a lot. Sarabande is still my personal favourite, a perfect mixture of traditional and newer instruments and musical styles, and most importantly – Your personality. I must say that it has a lot to do with the keyboards You play.

Your recent releases have concentrated on orchestral works. Is there any chance that You could compose a “Concerto for Electric Keyboards and Orchestra”? I’d just love to hear Your Hammonds (or Moog or whatever electric keyboards there are) accompanied by full orchestra.

Regards
Heikki

I hope that you are able to visit Symphony Hall in Birmingham as it has the best acoustics of any hall.
It would be a massive thrill to hear sections of pictured within live here. Also the intro to pictures of home in 1999 is a mesmerising piece of music. Any plans to develop it?
Regards
Paul
