First breaths of Covid-free air?
Just back from Glyndebourne (didn't think I'd be writing that this year) for one of their garden concerts, a one hour programme of Beethoven, Jonathan Dove (a piece written for this Garden) and a Mozart arrangement by Josef Triebensee.
The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (well, 8 of their wind section) played delightfully, and to the evident appreciation of all those (as we were) starved of live performance since March.
A beautiful English July afternoon, a fine performance (given the distancing restrictions), an afternoon of hope.
Roll on the operetta next month at the same venue. [And the acoustics, given it really was in the open air, by the lake, were fine].
