Future concerts you're excited to have tickets for.....

[Beef Oven!]

I've just popped into the RFH. If anyone can make it, they are selling any ticket, including the £65 ones for £4. First come first serve. It's for this evening's gig, Takemitsu and Ligeti

Damn it. Some of us splashed out £10 on £39 tickets via Time Out, thinking that deal a bargain.

Me and teamsaint included!

Just shows how unpopular music can be, if it's not from the 1800s!!

P.S. Is 'splashing out' applicable to ten quid these days!!?

[teamsaint]

well I haven't ordered tickets yet, but you can see this for £10

Faust/Queyras/ . Melnikov playing Haydn, Beethoven and Schumann.

The music group I'm involved with goes to Berlin this year (we go to a different European city each year).

I have tickets for:

Billy Budd in the Deutsche Oper on Friday 6th June

A concert in the Philharmonie on Saturday the 7th (Mozart Piano Concerto No. 25 and Bruckner's 6th Symphony : Richard Goode, the Deutsche Symphonieorchester Berlin with Herbert Blomstedt)

A concert in the Konzerthaus on Monday the 9th (All Mahler: Rückert Lieder and 1st Symphony : Bernarda Fink, Staatskapelle Berlin with the great Michael Gielen)

I've just managed to get a relatively cheap seat (£18 inc RFH bits n bobs) to see Pollini on 02 April play Beethoven piano sonata op. 106 Hammerklavier.

Pollini holds a unique place in my pianistic pantheon as the player I see most often whom I like least

But he's been rather poorly of late and it will be interesting to see if his rather bullish (to my ears) approach to Beethoven has been somewhat tempered.

C'mon Maurizio - amaze me!

Hiya EdgeleyRob,

A mouth watering concert of English music. It will be especially good to hear Vaughan Williams's Symphony No. 9 in concert. I will be there as usual.

This does indeed look a mouth-watering concert. I heard the RVW 9 in concert many years ago (1976, I think) with James Loughran and the Halle Orchestra, The same orchestra and conductor gave the Elgar Violin Concerto back in 1975 with the orchestra's leader, Martin Milner, as soloist. I've heard Perlman and Kennedy (both twice) since then. Haven't been to Manchester for many years but used to go on a regular basis to the Free Trade Hall.

Well,a concert that includes my favourite Concerto and Symphony is too good to miss.

There was a time,many years ago,when I had a Halle season ticket,then marriage,kids,mortgages and stuff happened.
I would have been at those concerts Pet.

I managed to pick up a return for today's Wigmore Hall lunchtime concert, Sarah Connolly singing "Les nuits d'été". I just love this and am looking forward to it very much, particularly after hearing Saturday's BAL.
