A busy interesting Wednesday
Up early so did blog - very hot in the night again! Heard from Rob Sceales who was in my school class - he loves music too and is a solicitor in Perth WA with his sons.
The reunion is going to be fascinating. To St Edmund's Beckenham to meet Miriam Power and see 3 manual console of new Wyvern digital being installed this week - looks good. To St Michael's for Widor Symphony No 6 played by William Saunders from St. Mary-le-Tower, Ipswich. Dorio was there. There are no recitals in August. Home - had salad and strawberries for lunch. With Liz to Queen's gallery for fascinating exhibition of lovely paintings of natural history including Leonardo drawings. Excellent commentary by David Attenborough. Jennifer Scott on commentary of rest of lovely display including Faberge, miniatures, jewellery and paintings and she met us so we had a good chat. She was catechist with Liz and works in the Royal collection - lucky her! To St James Park to read magazines - Oremus, Tablet, Laudate. To Martin Baker's recital at the cathedral - on great form. Beethoven Egmont overture, Lionel Rogg La Cite celeste, Thierry Escaich Evocation II (not to my taste) Reger's greatest work Introduction, Variations and fugue on an original theme Op. 73 (30 minutes) Vierne Allegro vivace form Symphony No.1 Stunning improvisation on opening of Egmont overture. Thomas, Matthew, Martin Ball, Andrew Cesana, Fr Aidan Rossiter, Naomi and James, Francis, Michael. Home to clear up - washed kitchen floor, put washing away. Louise Sage has finally left Our Lady's Addiscombe.
