I PM on Mondays is not my best time for the radio, ds, but I'm glad to say I made it today. Thanks for the advance notice. That was a most enjoyable concert and I would hope never to miss a chance to listen to Ms Sara Mingardo. Two contraltos - what a bonus.

I’ve just caught up. A classy recital and very enjoyable one too. Yes, what a treat it was (re: two contraltos /contralti!?)!

Very enjoyable. I was about to refer back to her Lunchtime Concert last year. I had lost all track of time. When I checked, I found to my surprise that the previous discussion we had was in fact three years ago.

Due contralti, two contraltos.
