Jurowski

Listened to Prom of Goehr and Knussen but not very inspiring. Visited the new memorial to Bomber command - rather a fine sculpture. Of course there is debate about what they did but surely it is right to remember their sacrifice. A glorious day. Pre prom discussion with Christine Rice about her literary choices. Bryson, Galsworthy, David Walliams. The Foulks provoked interesting comments about balancing motherhood and career. She will be singing in The Minotaur at Covent Garden which we are going to see. The prom was brilliant and Liz got in OK. Weber, Mahler beautifully sing by Alice Coote and Tchaikovsky's Manfred. LPO conducted superbly by Jurowski. Watched Sao Paolo SO TVcast including second encore.
