From Jack Gibbons:

“BBC Children’s Hour made a recording of one of their programmes in 1962 with the intention of inspiring young children to appreciate music. The programme told a story of a young boy taking charge of a Lost Noises Office (like lost property, only lost sounds, such as bells and whistles). The boy helps an anxious grand piano find his missing B for his evening concert, and the story ends with the boy tuning in to the radio to hear the concert in which the grand piano plays the closing music of Schumann’s piano concerto (played on the BBC programme by Solomon). As a 4-year-old I was riveted by this record, and especially the Schumann extract at the end. 17 years later, as I performed the Schumann Piano Concerto for the first time, I felt great emotion as my fingers reached the spot I’d heard since I was 4-years-old, and I said to myself as I played: ‘this is it. THIS is the moment. THIS is why you’re a musician’ “
