- 23:36 I suppose that could have been the conductor's fault. Choir raggedy. Bryn was polished slick & technically excellent but. . .
- 23:37 . . . but he didn't seem on fire. A bit phoned in. And I was surrounded by crossover fans from hell. Or Wales.
- 00:00 Seems that a Tweet I sent was missing. I said that I enjoyed the Bryn Terfel concert. He was good, but not great, orchestra was crap.
- 00:01 Orchestra was so crap that Iago's Credo sounded cheerful, twee and chirruppy. No nuance of interpretation, & incapable of going below mf.
- 00:02 Although the orchestra did a fine 'Night on A Bare Mountain'; perhaps they just ignored the conductor or summat.!
- 00:04 Most importantly, meeting up with friend, I have custody of Tamerlano tickets: 5 perfs, open reh, insight eve, and 'In Conversation' w/ Sir.
- 00:05 Oh, & Mr Bus Driver, it wdve been nice to play the 'On Diversion' announcement, like, before the diversion. Lone female, long walk home FAIL
- 00:29 This Xmas, BBC2 will show the Rolando and Anna film of La boheme. I hate Boheme but love Rolando, so will have to watch it!
- 01:11 Universal Music email plugging a money making LP from the Coldstream Guards - 'A Remembrance Day Tribute'. Cynical marketing gone SICK. #fb
- 08:50 No, I still don't see a problem with cycling (carefully) on pavements which are entirely bereft of pedestrians
- 13:09 RT @hm_the_queen: (@Gert) Who's your favourite Prime Minister? David Cameron, 2010-2018. Actually, Boris Johnson, 2018-2026.<<<gaggghhh!
