h/t to OT

I'm surprised, though, that they wouldn't even talk about (let alone rehearse) the piece before they play in front of an audience.

When I watched it, prior to reading Hough's comments, I felt her shock seemed real, but the conductor seemed nonplussed. Which made me wonder if the conductor was messing with her head, maybe to see if he could get something "fresh" out of her.

I have been a fan of hers ever since I heard her recording of Chopin's Nocturnes 30 years ago.
