Plenty of unfamiliar (to me) composers, which is always welcome.

CD Review:
..begins with Vivaldi and ends with Bach

Has anyone been to the Summer Festivities of Early Music in Prague, (featured today on the EMS)? I haven't been to Prague and this seems like a wonderful opportunity to do so. I can find only 'unconfirmed' dates online of 19 July - 6 August.

I checked the Czech version of the website and it doesn't give any future dates - it just says "We are looking forward to meeting you in 2013". I suspect 19 July - 6 August are last year's dates.
