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

[teamsaint]

Will report back, HD, though it might be bullet points as a precious weeks hols, (on Skye) beckons.off packing duty for the evening.

Such a cracking programme, and ticket sales look thin. Let's hope for a good late walk up !!

Posting this from the RFH terrace looking out overthe river on a glorious spring evening. The South bank is absolutely thronging with folk.
London at its very best,IMO.

[teamsaint]

I'm going to a "beer and cider tasting" with clients.....

Hitting the clubs afterwards ?!

Philharmonia/Hrusa
RFH tonight.

Dvorak Cello concerto / Suk Asrael.

Excited !!

I'd be excited by that too. An excellent programme, and an exciting conductor (I've been most impressed by his recordings with the Prague Philharmonia: his Suk Serenade for Strings is a case in point — he grabs the listener from the very first note). I would anticipate something special from him with Asrael.

It's a cracking programme Stan,my all time favourite Symphony and Concerto,really excited now (I don't get out much).

[kuligin]

I have tickets too and looking forward to two "9ths" in succession

It will have to be something special to match the superb Mahler 9 played by the Halle last night , the strings in the Adagio finale were remarkably intense. Interestingly matched with Brahms Nanie a work new to me. Good to see the hall so full.

I have only heard one piece of Rawsthorne live so Strret Corner will be interesting and the VW9 is also new to me too, although I know it has its fervent supporters here

Tonite is Britten's Sea Interludes from Grimes and the Shostakovich 7. We are meeting one of my sons for dinner at a famous German Restaurant a few blocks from Orchestra Hall and I need to limit the beer intake so that my bladder will make it through the Leningrad .
Gerald McBurney is giving the pre concert lecture and I am looking forward to that.
