Something I won’t be at, as I shall be away, but worth flagging up anyway.

BBCNO and Chorus of Wales.

The concert is notable for me for a performance of Maconchy’s “ And Death Shall Have no Dominion”, which I haven’t heard in about 45 years. Should be exciting stuff. A very dramatic work, from distant recollection.

Certainly an interesting and enterprising choice of works, ts.

Thanks to cadging off our daughter's priority booking for ROH we managed to get in and booked amphitheatre for next year's new Fidelio. We realised that after about 50 years of concert and opera going neither of us had actually ever seen it live on stage. Difficult to know what to expect from director, Tobias Kratzer. His Bayreuth Tannhäuser this summer seems to have been an 'interesting' staging. J Kaufmann is signed up for a place in the dungeon. More enticing casting with Lise Davidsen as Leonore (fresh from what seems to have been a triumphant Elisabeth in that Bayreuth Tannhäuser) and the excellent Georg Zeppenfeld as Rocco, who we have seen there recently as Sarastro and König Heinrich. I loved him as my namesake in the recent Bayreuth Parsifal which I watched on video. Simon Neal is Pizzaro and a tenor who has become one of my current favourites, Robin Tritschler, (eg recent recordings of Medtner and Robert Franz songs) as Jaquino. Certainly looking forward to it.

Indeed, and Xenia is a very fine pianist.

I have just renewed my season ticket for the Quatuor Danel at Manchester University, and this season have for the first time persuaded my partner to come with me (she came to the last one last season and enjoyed it)! First concert is 18 Oct (Shostakovich 1, Beethoven op135, Weinberg 3 plus a piece by Jumpei Koyama, about whom I know nothing).

I'll certainly be at a couple of these.

Looking forward to hearing Weinberg's 24 Preludes for solo cello played by Jonathan Aasgaard this coming Thursday,also at Manchester University.

Angela Hewitt tonight playing three of Bach's English Suites at Turner Sims in Southampton.

To my surprise, as of this moment there are a few tickets left.

As part of our upcoming golden wedding celebrations, we shall return to the RFH, where we had our first 'date' in November 1969, on January 19th next year. Vaughan Williams 6th Symphony, Richard Strauss Oboe Concerto and Stravinsky's Symphony in 3 Movements. (Had I not lost the original tickets, I would have tried to book the same seats. I think we paid 17 shillings each in 1969 in the Red Side Annex. We still have the programme).

In April next year I'll join some others from my music group in the Philharmonie de Paris for the complete Beethoven symphony cycle. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in four concerts spread over three days.

Back in 2016 I did something similar, again with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and maestro Nézet-Séguin, but that time it was for the complete Mendelssohn symphonies. Recordings of those performances subsequently appeared, so perhaps the same will happen with the Beethoven.

I'm just waiting for the box office to open for the Harrogate International concert series, specifically for the concert in early April - Joseph Moog plays Schubert, Liszt, Faure and Ravel. I was much impressed with his recordings of the Moszkowski 2nd piano concerto and also all 3 Chopin sonatas and it'll be interesting to see how he plays the Liszt B minor sonata.

The Moroz was one of the highlights of the HCMF Monday Freebies. Their programme tonight looks very attractive.

I first encountered this pair when they participated in Feldman's For Philip Guston at St John's, Smith Square a few years ago. Very much looking forward to tonight's event, though it does mean some 9 hours from departure to return home for a fairly short concert (as all these Tuesday Performance Space event are. Friday 13th promises to be a lucky one for me. BBCCO at Maida Vale in the early afternoon:

Purcell arr. Joby Talbot Chacony in G minor
Mahler arr. Britten What the Wild Flowers Tell Me (Symphony No. 3 - third movement)
Finzi Dies Natalis
Korngold orch. Zemlinksy Der Schneemann: Prelude & Serenade
