      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Today I received free tickets for this

          John Storgårds conducts an afternoon of two halves – with the gentle textures of Grieg’s Lyric Suite and the explosive force of Vaughan Williams’s Sixth


          I'm quite enjoying the retired life

            You remind me - I keep meaning to look up BBC freebies (Maida Vale Studio is my 'local'...)

            Enjoy that, Storgards in VW

            Curses - the 'apply for tickets' button suggested there was still room at this enticing concert in a couple of weeks

            Pavel Kolesnikov piano

            BBC Symphony Orchestra

            But on clicking through, hopes dashed - it's full...

              That’s ridiculous, it’s in Salford. How does the BBC expect people to get to Salford? It’s miles away.

                I’ve just applied for Les Illuminations & DSCH 5, for 9th November. Applications opened today.

                I went to a few Maida Vale R3 events in the 80s (IIRC),

                  A rare chance to hear a Martinů Symphony live (the 4th, my favourite I think) with the Bournemouth SO in Poole on Wednesday. Repertoire of such rarity as to make braving the awe-inspiringly uninspiring acoustic of The Lighthouse worth it...

                  Then the LPO/Vanska at the RFH on Friday for a mostly Sibelius concert ending with the 6th and 7th symphonies. Expectations of this have been raised by general fulsome praise for the earlier recent concerts comprising the rest of a Sibelius symphony cycle.

                  Looking a little further ahead to the end of November, the Alpine Symphony with the LSO/Pappano at the Barbican and Das Rheingold with the Hallé/Elder et al in Manchester stand out in the ticket in-tray as likely to provide pleasant distraction from the impending cold and dark.

                          Marking the opening of three new halls in Germany next year (well, one is a re-furb), I've got tickets for the following —

                          2nd June : Pierre Boulez Saal, Berlin A new (mainly) recital hall which is part of the Barenboim-Said Akadamie.
                          Radu Lupu Piano recital (Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Debussy)

                          4th June : Kurturpalast, Dresden A Berlin-Philharmonie-style refurbishment of the Communist-era concert hall.
                          Leonidas Kavakos, Frankfurt Radio Symphony / Andrés Orozco-Estrada Ligeti: Lontano; Brahms: Violin Concerto; Stravinsky: Rite of Spring)

                          6th June : Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg This amazing new concert hall is finally finished, way past schedule and over budget.
                          La Fura dels Baus Theatre Group, Soloists, Accentus Choir, Insula Orchestra / Laurence Equilbey Haydn: The Creation

                              Looks great, Beefy.

                              The guy at the top could use some trunking though, IMHO.
