    Verdi bi-centenary

    Any news on events related to the forthcoming bi-centenary of Verdi (2013)? Especially in Italy and around Busseto-land? A request, please can we avoid the W word? There'll be plenty of that elsewhere. Many thanks.

    The "W" word? If we're talking about those who share that bicentenary, I can only say that I've never seen Alkan spelt with a "W"...

      Must be someone else then ...

      On Verdi, I don't see a great deal at a first skim sul rete, not even on the Busseto tourist site.
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

        Hmmm - maybe someone who wasn't Jewish like Alkan...
