The organist librarian

I tidied up and posted some more photos. To quiet time at St John's. To LSE for a most interesting discussion on "The age of anger" with the author Pankaj Mishra. A large audience. Unfortunately the chair forgot about the time so there were only 3 questions from the audience. I had seen a review of this book in The Tablet so I knew it was going to be interesting.  Louise arrived with the boys. Liz was at servers council. 

Stunning Othello from RSC at Picturehouse Greenwich. What acting and direction and staging using water! Amazing and very moving.Having black actors playing Iago and Othello gave the play the whole new dimension.  Great Brahms Prom from OAE and Marin Alsop. Jamie Barton brought back happy memories of performing Alto rhapsody or rather going sick before the performance - that work seemed to jinx me! Interesting discussion about Brahms. I believe Britten disliked his music and influence. Lovly walk at Osterley with the boys.  Sean to Ciaran on high swing "Be very very careful Ciaran!" This from Mr Try anything himself!  The talk on the LSE was interesting and my question was well answered. It seems Harold Laski was very highly regarded by the Congress party members,  Messiaen at the Prom quite bearable, fine Mozart concerto 27 but what was that wierd encore? Bruckner 7! The encore was Shostakovich!
