Monteverdi

To Mass and to Cadogan to get seats which were not in a good place for sketching and yet there were empty seats on the other side! Anu Komsi soprano, a violinist who sang and harmonium player, Lovely harp. A delightful Cadogan Finnish folk prom. At CML an assistant brought full score of Gurrelieder far too big to use at the prom. Fruit tart and cappuccino at Peter Jones before Cadogan. Came home with scores and lunch.  The Monteverdi vespers was a bit of an endurance test. I prefer bel canto to con belto. Pygmalion the French group. Got a bus and train and home by 10.30.
