The Guildhall
The Little Hall
So into the guildhall, I'm sure you've seen it enough
I love these old magazines
And these posters are really cool.
And I love these old guidebooks
Apple and Blackberry
So anyway onto Melford Hall
My Saturday evening was spent at Saffron Hall the concert was...
London Philharmonic Orchestra with conductor Vladimir Jurowski and Violinist Julia Fischer
Programme
Oliver Knussen - Scriabin Settings, these are piano pieces by Scriabin that Knussen orchestrated.
Benjamin Britten - Violin Concerto
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Symphony No 6 'Pathetique"
The Knussen/Scriabin was a nice but not a particularly memorable. The Britten is not really my thing but the ending was mesmerising. The Tchaikovsky how was REALLY my thing and the end of the third movement it was hard not to applaud it carried on in to a fine fourth movement. Hearing a world class orchestra live is something else.
A really good start to the 2019/20 season!

Your posts on Lavenham always make me smile - all those lovely quirky buildings. The dahlias look beautiful. A lovely set of photos Pete and glad you enjoyed your concert. I need to find somewhere local that has concerts that is not symphony hall mainly so as I can avoid a trip into Birmingham City Centre especially as the Council has decided to get rid of the car park that serves Symphony Hall and Birmingham Rep :(
