"As I listened,
enthralled, to Gibbons'
glorious playing now
melting, now almost
terrifying in its ferocity,
there flashed
across my mind that
much quoted
remark of Schumann's
concerning Chopin:
'Hats off, gentlemen,
genius.' Surely
there was more than
a touch of genius
in Jack Gibbons"Fairfield Halls recital review
