MALCOLM BINNS’ distinguished career identifies him as one of the finest of British concert pianists. He has appeared in many seasons of London Promenade Concerts, including three Last Night performances.

“It was Richard Butt, then the head of music at BBC Pebble Mill, who introduced me to the music of Patrick Piggott in the 1970s... I tried some of the smaller pieces first and after expressing interest was sent a copy of the recently revised First Sonata... Whenever I played his music he would be full of praise and had very little to suggest about my interpretation... Apart from the First Sonata all these works were written for me.” Malcolm Binns
