Interview with Max Baillie
Visited Hungary?
Yes, a few times. The first time was to play at a
psychedelic trance festival deep in the countryside,
then mostly classical festivals.
Favourite Brahms?
Ooo much too hard question.. if I’m playing then it’ll
be that one!
Favourite venue?
The Red Hedgehog Tavern of course! The original no
longer exists but our band conjures its spirit.
Best performance you’ve been too?
I played Kodály Duo with my dad in the belly of a
fishing vessel packed with people. I had to sit because
the ceiling was too low for my bow.
Best advice?
Have courage and patience. (From Georges Enescu to
Ivry Gitlis, my teacher.
In five years’ time?
Everything I’m doing now and more!
Desert Island disc?
I just appeared on BBC Radio 3s This Classical Life, you
can hear them there!
