and others. I see that JantheFan, autoharp and harrumph have mentioned some of the same concerts.

...just wondering what  Vengerov's fee is going to be if he's doubling and hoofing?  Good to see  jd in front of a band again.

He apparently has a hand injury at the moment of the sort which allowed him last Friday to play just one out of the five Mozart violin concertos we were originally promised. Whether this affected the size of his fee I wouldn't know but it certainly didn't affect the price of the tickets Undecided 


[Several hours later: It's not Proms, I know, but just for the record I've just had an e-mail from the Barbican saying that they're refunding 50% of the ticket price to everyone who was there. Well done them. I really wasn't expecting that.]

That's a funny kind of hand injury George. Roll Eyes

Were you at the Barbican on Sat, by the way? Is it worth me (or you) starting an Anderson thread, or were you too distracted by Sarah Connolly on both sides?

I'm afraid I wasn't there on Saturday in the end, t-i-n Sad.  I'd been to four concerts in a row last week (with another one tonight) and I'm afraid I ducked or possibly chickened out. Will definitely be listening to the broadcast on Thursday though.

Yes, a particularly enticing season this year.

Most of all, I shall batten down the hatches and take the phone off the hook for "Gotterdammerung" on 12 August to hear Donald Runnicles and BBC SO lead a cast, headed by Christine Brewer, reaching for the peaks of Twilight.

Diary entries, too, for the Britten programme at the Saturday Cadogan Hall matinee (1 Sept)     Bartok, Ligeti, Enescu and Kodaly with VPO and Barenboim also most inviting.  (4 Sept).

 May I also  second message 48, in which Peter Grimes selects An Evening with Cleo Laine & John Dankworth (8 August) "From Bards to Blues."

PG, do you recall Dame Cleo's "Spring Collection" at QE Hall in 1972/73?   High camp along with sheer musicality.  Delicious.

Finally, Michael Ball's "Evening" on August Bank Holiday.     I remember the sheer versatility of his one man show at The Donmar and predict that he will surprise a few sniffy doubters.

Thanks, George - I never know about those things!

I'd like to trump you by claiming that Barbican concert was my 3rd concert in the same evening - it was meant to be, me having rushed there from a 6.00 fixture at the QEH, but I'm afraid I, erm, woke up too late to make the 4.00 concert I was also meant to have been at. Embarrassed
