Got back from New Year in Cologne (pleasantly devoid of TV or internet) to find that Palace had won away at WBA. We parked the car at Ebbsfleet and went on Eurostar which we found preferable to flying or driving. I have enjoyed dipping into my BaL recommended Kubelik Parsifal which had arrived in my absence. Kurt Moll great as my namesake.

Evening all Sunday nighters. Trust everybody has left the post-Christmas blues behind and are raring to go into the second week of the year? No, me neither

Won £155 the Saturday before Christmas as well. Putting selections up on here was really spooking me but seems back to whatever passes for normal again.Originally posted by teamsaint View Post

Bravissimo Pet! I'm really pleased to hear that your luck is back & on form, particularly after your recent loss and subsequent stressful time. Life goes on ... and a few CD boxes will help the process along nicely i'm sureOriginally posted by Petrushka View Post

Evening Sunday nighters. Board seems a bit quiet of late, perhaps missing the absence of salymap, hornspieler, Roehre, BBM and Anna (all temporary I hope).
A 4 day week at work coming as I have a meet up with friends on Friday so that puts me in a better mood than is usual for a Sunday night. Had another £90 win on the ponies yesterday so CD boxed sets beckon again. Should be taking delivery this week of the van Beinum Bruckner set out tomorrow on Eloquence so all in all not a bad week ahead."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Sounds like a decent week in prospect, Pet. happy shopping!!
yep , board is a bit quiet. Maybe as you say, missing few folks, and also a quietish time on the live music scene, Perhaps.
I'm contemplating a trip up to the RFH on Thursday for some more Brahms.Don't have a ticket , but there are plenty available, and the weather looks kind. Also tempted by the Dutoit Ravel in a few weeks time.
Just lining up that Colin Matthews Premiere from a week or so back.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Hi there everyone
Nice weekend, visit to parents, good win for Leicester and a few fun bets on the flat this afternoon should pay for a few spa treatments.
Enjoying the live organ recital from Peterborough. These Sunday concerts are still something of a novelty.Comment

I'm opting for The Anvil on Saturday instead - still Hélène Grimaud playing Brahms PC2, but with the Third Symphony instead of the Fourth.Originally posted by teamsaint View Post
Lovely lazy Sunday. Cooked lunch for a friend, trying out a new recipe - duck breast with chorizo and spiced vegetables. We also cut a Sachertorte I baked yesterday - high nom factor.Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency....Comment

The Anvil is still an option. Funny thing is, I can do the trip to the smoke for only about £3 more when ticket price is included .....and it breaks up the working week.Originally posted by Il Grande Inquisitor View Post
Lunch sounds good, Iggy. We had homemade fresh salmon fishcakes. Also nom !!I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Sorry I'm late folks.
Busy afternoon (grandchildren and dogs)then pulled up the drawbridge,shut myself away,sent Mrs ER off to do the ironing and listened to Bach's St Matthew Passion for the first time.
(John Eliot Gardiner/English Baroque Soloists et al).
Phew,heads gone,in a good way,and I'm not a religious person,I don't believe in god,and yet this music ?.....
Anyways sounds like we've all had a good Sunday.Comment

I wouldn't call myself a particularly religious person either but I love most religious music whether it is our cathedral choir tradition, the organ (could kick myself for missing tonight's live recital), Verdi Requiem or Bach. I listen to Choral Evensong each week (on Sunday) and find it an oasis of peace in difficult times.Originally posted by EdgeleyRob View PostSorry I'm late folks.
