Of course it's him.

The only puzzling thing is why he wants to 'hang out' with 'us'.

"Yes it was" rather than "yes it is", perhaps. This site located at
https://www.music.mcgill.ca/~sorabji/
is now well out of date in terms of work list content and certain other particulars; the current up-to-date site (which also gives details of availability of scores of Marc-André Hamelin and myself) is at
www.sorabji-archive.co.uk

Best,

Hinton is a down-to-earth guy, who appreciates amazing composers like Medtner and Scriabin, just like most of us. Pluss he is advocating for Sorabji, so no need to not be here.

He's a cool dude, man.

you are the new 'bob.'  (i used to follow bob around.  i still sorta do.  he's just a sort of no-nonsense,nonchalant guy).  alistair - we'd never known, unless you shared all of this with us!  very profound sense of compositional 'rightness.'  your program was 'just right,' too, in terms of composition balance.   i really do wish that i could have met you and heard jonathan powell play your work.

Well - it's not for me to speak at all about my work - but I can say, with immense pleasure, that the particular programme plan was Jonathan Powell's idea, with which I agreed wholeheartedly (for all that this inevitably meant my having to follow two giant works in the repertoire) and that, having now received the unofficial recording of this event that someone kindly made, I can only endorse, loudly, Jonathan Powell's astonishing way with the entire programme; I went to the concert already with high hopes of what he would do with my piece - he exceeded these expectations royally...

Best,

Alistair
