Every musicians worst nightmare, and a spectacular recovery. From The Daily Telegraph: During a lunch concert at Amsterdams famed Royal Concertgebouw, Pires sat down at her piano fully expecting to hear one Mozart concerto, but the orchestra suddenly started to play a different one: Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466. In documentary footage from the incident, viewers can see a look of pure panic flash on her face as she is forced to inform conductor Riccardo Chailly that she was not prepared to play her part. I havent got this here, it is at home, Pires can be heard telling Chailly, who continues wildly waving his baton while trying to calm her down. You played it last season, you know it so well, he responds.
