Bit of a disclaimer – I’m not a music critic by trade. But I am someone who survived a heart attack. So I have some skin in this game. I also didn’t go expecting to be writing a review, but as it seems nobody else has done one I couldn’t let this go.
Yesterday I was lucky enough to be at the premiere of Nitin Sawhney’s Heart Suite which, in music, tells the tale of Nitin’s experience with a heart attack. His heart attack experience was more severe than mine – he passed out at one point, falling and cutting his face up, then waking up with paramedics urgently helping him out and rushing him to St George’s hospital in London. It meant he’d postponed a performance with the Hallé orchestra planned for May. I believe this was the show.
