There's performance of a specially commissioned work by him in Drogheda on the 18th I think.

I find his music pretty snoozy, I'll probably go to the Drogheda gig but I'd better be well-rested beforehand

 

[Jasper]

Looking forward to this - heading to the NCH on the Friday and Sunday night. I don't know that much of his stuff outside Tabula Rasa and a few others. What's his choral stuff like?

There was a special about this on Lyric night before last. I'm looking well forward to it.

lovely, but hard to sing.

i'm in the friday night performance, i hope he doesn't start throwing things at us if we fuck up the credo.

er, not that we will, of course.

i must get tickets for the sunday concerts, they sound top.

Why don't these ponces ever play Dorans?

 

[avernus]

I adore Fratres. It's stunning. Especially for violin / piano version. I must make it along to one of these here nights.

What's his choral stuff like?

I was at the NCH on Friday night - absolutely brilliant, especially the last piece.

 

[coast to coast]

Listened to some of this last night live from the concert hall on Lyric FM.

I have to say, despite not knowing a bean about most classical music, I have to love their breadth of knowledge and enthusiam for the music.

I felt the Agnus Dei of Berliner Messe was exceptionally moving.

It felt like a religious experience. ;-)
