Dresden Staatskapelle

Most interesting talk with Adrian Tinniswood on the Great Fire of London. Barenboim did it again playing Mozart concerto and conducting Bruckner 6 superbly. Placing the double basses high at the back of the stage really worked. Prospectus said concerto 21 so brought that score but the little brochure had it changed to 27 - missed that! To Acton. Liz went into St Vincent's school. I went to get petrol in the old car and set off for Kew but Sean was sick so we came home and he played track. He was very good and fine and I put the ice pack on my knee and rested! To cathedral Hinsley Room for the afternoon session with Fr Robin on Happy are the peacemakers. Excellent talk on the history of the Dresden Staatskapelle and Trifonov played Mozart 22 and Bruckner 3 with Thieleman. Saw Muriel. Watched a bit of opening of paralympics from Rio.
