ISSUE 10

When I met Sean Scully in Munich a few months ago I found that he was open, caring and generous, and certain of his own nature. I suppose this could be construed by some as arrogant, but for me there was a humility and tenderness in his self knowledge. Scully knows what he is aiming for and I feel that he has always hit his target. I think he has achieved the musical recognition to which he makes comparison in so much that you can spot a Scully from a glimpse. But if you spend time to 'listen' to each piece you will find the insight and the condition of the soul within - mine, yours and his. The fight and the patience required is universal, the simplicity is deceptive.
