Mendelssohn - A Midsummer Night's Dream; BBCSSO, 14/5/15

[Flosshilde]

An excellent second half to this concert, with the complete MND music, and five very good actors from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland performing to put it into context.

ah. Sounds interesting

what did you make of the first half Floss? (were you there?)

I listened to the first half whilst circumnavigating half of the M25 ( can you circumnavigate half of something, probably not) at an average of about 20MPH.
The Berio didn't grab me and the Mozart.....well I went back to some Berio on my car system that did grab me.The orchestra made a fine noise, but it put me in mind of watching a rolls Royce trying to negotiate a go cart track.
