Oxford Lieder Festival - Schubert

[verismissimo]

All Schubert's songs in Oxford in just 3 weeks, starting on October 10: http://www.oxfordlieder.co.uk/

Some 700 of them! Top singers and accompanists. I'm already prepping for the ten concerts I've booked for.

Nobody going to this? Or went to the 4 day 'taster' at Kings Place?

I'm kicking off with Kate Royal and Malcolm Martineau doing Schubert settings of the Schlegels.

My own personal thread, it seems.

Can't stand these 'thons!

Can't stand these 'thons!

Opportunity really to get to grips with stuff, ferney. I'm doing it poet by poet - only the ones I'm going to hear. So, thus far, Schlegels, Hoelty, Schiller and Schulze...

Oh, yes - I was being a silly ass. Were I nearer to Oxford, I'd be going to at least some of the recitals.

Half on topic. Went to Sheldonian yesterday for Anne Sophie Mutter masterclass and evening concert. She's very special.
