In loving memory of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), I dedicate my modest but whole-hearted performance of Mozart's Adagio, in honour of her long life and unwavering devotion to all people. Nine days before her passing, my recital was recorded live in Mauritius, where exactly 50 years ago in 1972, Her Majesty visited.

Having lived in the UK since 1996, I am deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. My heart goes to HM King Charles III, her family, and everyone in Britain and the Commonwealth. Since my childhood the Queen was an inspiration to me. I always admired Queen Elizabeth for her great sense of humour, grace and warmth. Despite the sadness we all feel, she will always be remembered and her soul will live on forever.

‘Grief is the price we pay for love’
— HM Queen Elizabeth II
