John Lill
From pub pianist to winner of the Moscow International Tchaikovsky Competition and a 35-year career: this week, Joan Bakewell talks to
John Lill. In today's programme, he talks about his early years: growing up in East London, he made his concert debut as a nine-year-old and had memorised all of Beethoven's piano music by the time he was 14. The special relationship with Beethoven was to last - his Festival
Hall debut came at 18, playing Beethoven's Emperor Concerto. Producer Kerry Chapman
