Elly Ameling masterclasses at the Wigmore

[Nick Armstrong]

The divine Elly Ameling is giving public masterclasses this Wednesday and Thursday mornings, 10.30am, at the Wigmore Hall: http://wigmore-hall.org.uk/wigmore-series/masterclasses

Seats left for just £7... Very tempting to bunk off work

Ever wished you had made your 11 am appointment a 2.00 pm job?

Good spot though, Cals.

Is " bunk off work" a legal term ?

From one of my favourite Schubert recital discs of all time - a youthful Elly Ameling accompanied on an exquisite fortepiano by Jorg Demus.

Snap it up for under £3, it is a truly lovely disc!

Wow. Thanks Micky.

She does make Betty Blackhead seem a tad mannered, doesn't she...!

[MickyD]

She most certainly does, Caliban!

Here's another morsel from that gorgeous disc:

Hope you get to the master class....

Cherished memories of the great lady's Wigmore Hall recitals in the early 80s. She also had a relaxed but formidable platform persona and was also known, affectionately, as 'the iron butterfly'!
