On April 17th at The National Portrait Gallery, London, there will be a performances of some very rarely heard works including 'Goodbye' by Tosti. All the works concerned have some relationship to the Sargent exhibition. Henry Roche, a direct descendant of Ignaz Moscheles is one of the performers.
There is a recording of Tosti's "Goodbye" by Ben Heppner on his beautiful Tosti DGG recital disc - and another one by José Carreras made as early as 1979 (also reissued on CD).
If I get some ones answering machine too often, I leave this recording playing for them. It usually does the trick.

I am happy to report that the above concert is now fully booked. The performers are prepared to repeat the concert if a venue can be found.

It is - thread title duly amended.
It was Francesco Paolo.
