A standing ovation for the remarkable Warren Mailley-Smith with his ‘Moonlight by Candlelight’ in St Mary Le Strand .
Remarkable not only for the beautiful playing of an artist who truly loves music but for an artist who has time and the passion to promote over 300 concerts a year sharing a platform with numerous of his colleagues not only in London but also in Manchester and Edinburgh

One of whom is Julian Trevelyan who is playing in the Leeds final that is being broadcast live tonight and whom we wish all the success he deserves
Julian Trevelyan at St Mary’s – Liszt restored to the pinnacle of the Romantic repertoire
Warren played not only Beethoven’s Moonlight but also a deeply felt mellifluous Pathetique.
Chopin too with a ravishing Nocturne in C sharp minor op posth and a Fantasie-Impromptu of searing intensity. A ‘Raindrop’ prelude of rare beauty as was his beguiling account of a whispered ‘Clair de lune’. ‘Un sospiro’ by Liszt soaring the heights of romantic seduction before the wedding bells rang out with such joy in Troldhaugen thanks to Grieg op 65 n.6
A public happy to have spent the evening surrounded by candlelit beauty and ravishing sounds from Warren’s magical fingers on his own beautiful Steinway housed in this church in an oasis of peace just a stone’s throw from the burning hot intensity of Covent Garden.
Leaving the church exhilarated and uplifted in a city outside ready to celebrate ‘Friday night fever.’,
