Should tell me whether I really like Ligeti

‘Peter Grimes’ this afternoon at the Opéra de Monte Carlo. Starring, directed by, co-costumed and co-lit by José Cura. He’s clearly into the idea of it being some kind of gesamtkunstwerk with him in charge of the lot (at least I don’t think he’s going to attempt Ellen Orford). On verra!

LPO/Vladimir Jurowski next Wednesday in the RFH. Leif-Ove Andsnes in Debussy's Fantaisie, Stravinsky's Symphony in C and Tango and Shostakovich's 6th. Slightly odd mix of music but any programme presented by VJ will have some logic to it.
