Condoleezza Rice performed music by Brahms on the piano in an elegant music room at Buckingham Palace, with Queen Elizabeth II listening. Miss Rice was later presented with an audio recording of the recital by the Queen. The top US diplomat met UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband in London, who’s wife accompanied Miss Rice during the performance. Her visit to the United Kingdom is most likely her last as US Secretary of State. She will be succeeded by senator Hilary Clinton.
Johannes Brahms was a German composer, and is Condoleezza Rice’s favourite composer. She calls Brahms’ music “passionate but not sentimental”.
