Happy Birthday, Mariss Jansons !! Surprise...!
After a sad week, some rotten weather and amid an air of tetchiness around generally, some genuine delight here:

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Thank you Cali, for that! What a maestro he is and warm the orchestra's feelings are for him! You can see that quite well! :) Thank you!

Lovely indeed. I don't know why, but I had it in my head that his birthday was a lot later in January, the 20-somethingth.

That alone must score him a load of brownie points :) Seriously, though, back in the days when they played the Festival Hall together I use to sit in the choir stalls and watch the players, and it was clear in what regard they held him. And that reminds me, I haven't booked for them at the Barbican yet ...Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View PostComment
