I am happy. I just saw that Russian Chamber Orchestra is going to be here 19 Nov. I don't know this orchestra. They included us in their European tour.
The program is traditional : Vivaldi "Four Season", Bach from Suite in D, Grieg Holberg Suite, Elgar Serenade For Strings in E minor, Barger Adagio, Tchaikovsky Andante Cantalily Waltz from Serenade, Albenis Tango, Garner Misty.
Also they are goint to have City Theatre from Dublin perform Jane Eyre By Charlotte Bronte (Adapted and directed by Michail McCaffry).
I don't have time to go to that play.

Pity you cannot find time to get to Jane Eyre t-p, it is one of my most favourite books, but I don't know how a stage adaptation would work.

John Williams wrote the score for the lacklustre 1970 version with Susanna York and George C Scott as Rochester.
I'd opt for the 1943 film which still crops up on the telly with Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles. A fine score by Bernard Herrmann, too. Aldous Huxley wrote the screenplay.

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Not sure I'd describe the screen play as lacklustre bbm  Or did you mean the theme music which is here ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tk2k5Y5oOM ItI conveys the darkness that pervades the film rather well, I thought. I can't seem to find any YouTube videos of JE that haven't been dubbed into Spanish!  Edit.Hmm. My post may sound a bit muddled there. I am of course referring to the Orson Welles/Joan Fontaine version which I love. Can't comment on the 1970 version because I haven't seen it. I plead lack of sleep if I wasn't clear. Actually I'm not sure I'm clear now  |

going to the... Ashmolean They're renovating the museum at the moment, and attached the scaffolding across the St Giles side of the building are a bunch of posters advertising the sort of things the Ashmolean has in it collection: 'China', with a picture of a Ming vase, that sort of thing. Someone's graffito'd [sp] one of them so that it reads " I ruddy love Middle Ages and Renaissance". Cue childish grins all round. |

Ided you do!! how com e that it was lacklustre then, o well. bbm - Stanley described the 1970 version (score by Williams, screenplay by Jack Pulman) as lacklustre, but the 1944 film is the one with screenplay by Huxley (different kettle of the fish with a score by Hermann). Clear? [edited to add wikipedia links] |

It makes me happy to see that in 1943, a film called I Walked With A Zombie was released loosely based on the Jane Eyre story. |
