    I abhor all forms of chauvinism. And William Empson, I think it was, who ridiculed the Blake words... How do you hold a bow, arrows and a sword, all at the same time? (I believe a certain Tory politician tried once....)

      Yes, Mark Elder was replaced by Andrew Davis in 1990.

        Thanks for the confirmation. Nice to know I still have a few braincells working.

          Just enjoying Nicola playing the Bruch before the 2nd half is spoiled by the need to Park!

                    I'm afraid I got bored with so many short pieces when the tenor started. I switched to the recording of this week's Hotel Inspector. - great fun!

                    Was I mistaken or was there neither an announcement nor a caption about what the second and third works were - just sudden subtitles?

                        She's seems a nice person. But I cannot stand her singing
                        "...the isle is full of noises,
                        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                            Looks good - not heard her sing,however.

                              I only know her from a TV showing of the Glyndebourne Poppea a couple years ago. She sang it pretty well as far as I can remember and looked great.

                                Overall, the best 'Last Night' we've had for a year or three!
