The Essay - Wigmore Hall
Pianist Stephen Hough on Wigmore Hall in London and how its "shoebox" design catches the ear.
1/5 Stephen describes the hall in which he has performed and listened to numerous concerts and how its design ensures "every sound is beautifully focused."
This week's Essays are celebrating British architecture. Each writer has a passionate connection with the building, revealing how our long past and complex present have led to a built environment unlike anywhere else on the planet.
