Future concerts you're excited to have tickets for.....
We heard a wonderful Concert last night. The program:
A Panufnik. Concerto in Stile Antico
Stravinsky Firebird Suite. 1919 Version
Tchaikovsky Polish Symphony
Muti led the Chicago SO
The Panufnik is a wonderful piece, a 7 movement Suite of Polish Baroque Music arranged for Trumpet and Orchestra. It sounds very Italian.
The Firebird was very well done. Muting was very animated during the Danse Infernale and during the last movement.
The Tchaikovsky was also well done. The most boring part the First Movement, was dispatched quickly, leaving more time enjoy the 3 delicious inner movements.
Bruckner 8 with Haitink and the LSO on the 23rd at the Barbican ... unmissable for me ... a near 400-mile round trip but a couple of nights accommodation at a club in lovely Cookham on the banks of the R. Thames to relax post-concert.

Serious Rossini with the Welsh National Opera in Oxford: "Mose in Egitto" and "Guillaume Tell". I am very excited about these. I have been getting into the mood with the most wonderful "Barber" at the Royal Opera House.
The Hallé concert on Thursday with Viktoria Mullova playing the Shostakovich first violin concerto and Ravel's complete Daphnis et Chloé. Sir Mark Elder is conducting. I can't wait to hear Mullova play as in recent seasons it has been rare for the Hallé to engage star soloists.

Let us know how this goes Stanfordian! A marvellous performer - seeing her play the Beethoven with BBC NOW under Francois-Xavier Roth it was noticeable how, willowy as she is, she was taller than the diminuitive M. Roth and his podium combined

Hiya Richard, I've just noticed your post. Mullova was in top form. I enjoyed interviewing her in Dresden in 2013 prior to watching her performing a jazz set with her husband's combo.
See what’s on in Coventry at Warwick Arts Centre. Buy tickets for the huge selection of events including live performances, films, exhibitions and more.
Assuming that operas are allowed here I've just booked for both Moses in Egypt and William Tell at the Mayflower, Southampton, in the last week of November. There are reviews of both (at other venues) on the Night at the Opera board.
There are tickets at all prices still available, though decent seats with good sight of not only the stage but the surtitles too are now in limited supply.
