How delightful then to find that this was a deliberate tease and that, after all the build-up and consideration, the final ten minutes were devoted to a mesmerising performance of the Ballade in full by the wonderful Stephen Hough. I closed my eyes, let the music and everything said in the preceding half hour wash over me. I’ve rarely had a more intense experience of music, on television.
