Jonathan Prag’s appearance is a musical
triumph over adversity, playing at a rearranged venue in a tent
where there is a certain amount of extraneous noise. By a little bit
of plugging up the quality of his musicianship is not lost.
His programme contains such a variety of
melodies drawn from the classical tradition, Celtic and Greek folk
music, jazz and South American dance. He is as comfortable with Bach
as he is with Theodorakis
A pleasurable and relaxing hour - it is one
of the few shows that it is quite permissible to close your eyes and
let the performance wash over you.
