Talk:Derek Paravicini

Focus? A savant and disabled person, or a pianist despite disabilities?

At some point one has to ask what's really important about a person whose artistic work attracts crowds. I learn almost nothing about his oeuvre, but everything about his disabilities (which aren't all that uncommon). Why wouldn't this page start with ".. is a concert pianist specializing in pop, jazz and light classical music, despite his profound mental disabilities".

Talking about the disabilities is important in this case, but not if his work as a pianist isn't taken seriously. I don't know much about him, so I'm not going to try to rewrite this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidswelt (talk • contribs) 12:22, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Surrey?

A recent feature on BBC Radio 4's Today program states that he actually lives in Bristol. http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8069000/8069572.stm Jon H (talk) 13:23, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
