I used to do that Jules, it's hard work these days though . . . so I must officially be an old got now!

That would tire me out, I must admit.
Are you travelling home between them?

Thanks, Jules. Not a fan of the Barbican but I'll give the tickets a go before they evaporate.

Well I'm absolutely shocked at the state of the Barbican this evening - the WCs, those that are open, are in a desperate state. What's going on? I do hope they send me a customer survey.

Spectacular performances at Wigmore Hall and the Barbican. Am rooting for Symphony Hall to deliver the goods today as well.
Brief reviews to follow ...

It was three for three!
I have written notes on each concert, will try to write up tomorrow.

Looking forward to a double bill at the Bridgewater Hall next Thursday.
A lunchtime piano recital followed by an early evening Tchaikovsky 5 ...

I do like Tchaikovsky's 5th. Enjoy!

I'm sure this evening will fare better than that Tchai 5 - Nicky B playing the Brahms and Rach 3 which I haven't heard live for ages.

I am fortunate enough to have witnessed a historic performance of the Brahms by Nicola Benedetti.

Thanks. Hmm, I wonder whether the Basingstoke Symphony Orchestra are up to scratch?

What the hell, I've booked it. It's a nice evening out and I love the Grieg and the Beethoven.

I thought maybe you had seen the orchestra previously!
Well you're supporting local music making with a young and talented soloist, so even if it isn't Berlin Phil standards it's a good thing.

I've seen the Philharmonia at The Anvil previously. Never the Basingstoke!
