    It's many years since I went to this event in London, but I always remember it being so full of good things and the church has a delightful atmosphere. I'm glad to hear the festival is still going strong!

      Nice to see that the Lufthansa Festival hasn't snaffled all the best acts.

          Thanks for the link, Pilamenon. There's such a choice that I find it hard to be selective... but for the exorbitant price of rail tickets (oh, and the day job).

            Dunno what happened there! I was merely offering an alternative spelling of the name of the German airline involved.

              The Early Music Show usually broadcast some of the concerts later in the year. So watch out. It’s not quite the same when it’s dark and cold but the music is just as wonderful.

              [ed] Performance on 3 Tuesday 17 May. An all Buxtehude programme

                Thanks for the info, doversoul. Top-class performers doing the Brandenburgs, the B Minor Mass and Membra Jesu nostri all live in the space of eight days. What riches!

                The Lufthansa Festival offers an adventurous programme of concerts, ranging from vocal and instrumental music for small ensembles to large-scale masterpieces, with foremost singers and period instrument orchestras from continental Europe and UK.


                (Thanks for the correction, Ofcachap. I tried to change the thread title, but couldn't work out how to.)

                Dilbert, why not go along to see Gustav Leonhardt (83 later this month) on Sunday afternoon? Cheap weekend return to Victoria?
