    Anyway Beefy, what is the long German word for the moment when we discover that our attitudes aren't quite as "Right" as we thought?
    'Socialism'?

        MrGG's comment clearly implied that the traveller was within UK. Your inference is simply perverse - as they used to say in those wartime films about naval battles "make smoke".
        Don't distract me, I've got to go and earn a loada money to pay to subsidise your lifestyle of CDs and summer holidays to the south of France - spare a thought for the higher-rate tax payer. Told you before, don't bite the hand that feeds you, or I'll stop working, then what'll you do?

          Orwellian work on my post there, Winston. Naughty.

            Sorry mate, it's all quid pro quo for my putting your spawn through school etc.

              When you're down in the smoke next, I'll book a break-out room in the RFH, and I'll do you a free diversity awareness session - the least I can do for introducing me to so much marvellous music!

                I think you will find that in railway terminology, within England, London is always "up" the line.

                  This is the 'What was your last concert?' thread.
                  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.

                    Yes . Beefy was telling us about his last concert, up in London. Your Britten/Matthews etc concert up in Bristol sounded really interesting, which led me to check it out on youtube earlier today.

                      My last concert was 6 December at the Bridgewater Hall.
                      BBC Philharmonic
                      Juanjo Mena
                      Colin Currie, Percussion
                      Alfredo Garcia, Narrator Baritone

                      Turina - Ritmos
                      HK Gruber - Rough Music, Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra
                      Thomas Ades - These Premises are Alarmed
                      John Adams - Slonimsky's Earbox
                      Ginastera - Estancia, Complete Ballet with Baritone and Narrator

                      This is a very interesting and maybe brave program. It was very poorly attended. I am not sure if it was the program or Christmas Season malaise. I have to say I liked the 2nd half better than the first. I am not a huge fan of HK Gruber. Did any other forum members attend? It has been recorded by Radio 3 for a future broadcast.

                        Symphony Orchestra rather than Phil? Sounds like the kind of thing the BBC Orchs (esp the Symphony) are encouraged to do because others won't.

                          Thanks for that, team. Good to be reminded of it so promptly after first hearning it. Couldn't magic up the 2nd movt, could you?!
