Virtuosity galore and expressive chiaroscuro rest as complementary companions in Boris Giltburg’s playing. The young performer, whose pianism has already been likened in its expressive intensity and scale to that of Sviatsoslav Richter, returns to Wigmore Hall following his tempestuous reading of Chopin’s Ballades last season with a lunchtime recital programme of works ruled by Romantic passion and introspection.

Set in an ageing mock-Tudor house in Bristol in 1979, Maud and her stay-at-home son, Mo, pass their days happily together.

No amount of coaxing from Maud's suave elder son, Hedley, and Mo's glamorous twin sister, Queenie, will persuade the eccentric pair to lead a more normal life - even the 'michael wave' is a gadget too far and part of a world neither wishes to inhabit.
