He has indeed! He filled in at short notice to conduct a concert with the West Australian Symphony that I attended last year. The program was Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet, Elgar's Cello Concerto and Schumann's 4th. I'd never heard of him before, but he is a *hell* of a conductor. Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
