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

[gurnemanz]

Excitement mounts round here. Off to Bayreuth for the first time next week. Itinerary is fixed, taking in Cologne, Leipzig and Luxembourg. The Tannhäuser set failed spectacularly on the first night with VIPs present. Can't wait.

That sounds like a brilliant holiday, gurne - I'm green with envy (in a good way ): Enjoy!

"The soloist, conductor and orchestra have all prepared the First Concerto, and they're not going to change it just because some fool missed the correct key when they were typing up the programme for the printers".

Ah yes, THAT meaning of "unavoidable".

Good work Ferney.
Personally, I think that they thought that number 1 would sell strongly but number 2 was more artistically appropriate, so it was a case of " 1 for the money, 2 for the show........"

Yevgeny Sudbin this Friday (Scarlatti, Beethoven, Chopin, Scriabin), Christophe Rousset next Wednesday (Rameau) and Benjamin Grosvenor next Thursday (Schubert, Chopin, Mompou, Medtner, Ravel): all part of the Menton Festival and all at (for France) the amazingly civilised time of 6pm (makes a change from Roque d'Anthéron's 9.30pm as will not being outside and being subject to downpours). The fact that tickets are all €10 is a bit suspicious - maybe we're going to get cardboard cut-outs with CDs being played in the background.

Very very jealous!

Certainly YS is planning to be there in person judging by his calendar - although he appears to be aiming for 8pm.... Hope he doesn't miss his own recital....!!

A tenner sounds like brilliant value (if he arrives on time) !

I'm amazed that Roger Wright never thought of that, HD.

Wait a minute ...

Peter Anderszewski at Snape 13 August. Bach Overture in the French Style, Szymanowski Metopes, Beethoven op 110 and Schumann Novelette No 8. Some programme, some pianist.

I acquired Anderszewski's CD of JSB's Partitas 1,3 & 6 recently and was re-awakened to his artistry - I hope it's a great concert gradus
