Not that it spoils the music, but I would lower my expectations on the set if I were you.

Thanks, Peter. Yes, that’s a lovely concerto. And is the venue actually the Alhambra, or is just in the style? One of my favourite places on earth, anyway.

John, glad to hear it!

I went on Wednesday night. It was sublime, and the music is worth it alone. Sally-Anne Russell and Fiona Campbell are perfectly cast. Enjoy!

James, Vivaldi’s Concerto for Lute in D major: John Williams’ version.

Sublime.

They keep wiping out the video of this on youtube, but many others are persistent.

And thanks, I’ll have to check out the operatic stuff. Always remember the music but not necessarily the nomenclature.
