Last night at Colston Hall:
Philharmonia Orchestra, cond. Jakub Hrůša
Smetana Bartered Bride overture
Dvořák Piano concerto (with Lukáš Vondráček)
Janáček Glagolitic Mass (with Bristol and Gloucester Choral Societies, Thos Trotter and four soloists of whom I only knew Monica Groop)
The concerto soloist received an enthusiastic reception for his performance (rightly in my view) but our party was less impressed with the work itself. Splendid performance all round of the Mass and the organ sounded great. The Philharmonia on good form. A good evening.
