I got Finley's cover at ENO but was blown away by seeing GF so intense in the Sellars production on DVD.<br /><br />BTW a footnote I should add is that I heard three more wonderful musicians playing the SECOND Mendelssohn Piano Trio in an amphitheatre by the sea at Turgutreis's marina near Bodrum. A memorable two days' of festival, then at 3am before my departure I had terible pains in my left side and vomiting, was rushed into a Bodrum hospital where they removed a kidney stone blocking the passage to a severely infected kidney. All done today and should be able to fly home tomorrow. In good hands here...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-60893071576823368632016-08-26T15:30:21.340+01:002016-08-26T15:30:21.340+01:00I think I typed "Gerard," but of course ...I think I typed "Gerard," but of course it's "Gerald" Finley.Susan Scheidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250142489341777926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-59004232539145846132016-08-26T15:10:02.043+01:002016-08-26T15:10:02.043+01:00I just discovered that Julia Bullock will be comin...I just discovered that Julia Bullock will be coming your way, 4/25/17, at the Barbican. She'll be singing Kitty Oppenheimer in John Adams's Dr. Atomic, with Gerard Finley as Oppenheimer (Penny Woolcock director). Adams will conduct the BBC Symphony Orchestra.Susan Scheidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250142489341777926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-12524747102314058682016-08-24T07:39:33.049+01:002016-08-24T07:39:33.049+01:00Haven't come across Julia Bullock, Sue, only o...Haven't come across Julia Bullock, Sue, only our own dramatic soprano Sue (adorable person, too). I like it that we have our parallel proteges, inasmuch as we support them, even if yours are more cutting-edge.<br /><br />Knew you'd appreciate the subtler charms of a very special part of Norfolk (I think I like the north-eastern corner best - at least since the Burnhams became hyper Chelsea-on-sea).Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-29435043138038989642016-08-23T16:45:21.573+01:002016-08-23T16:45:21.573+01:00I champion you for championing smaller festivals! ...I champion you for championing smaller festivals! I look forward to the new concert season beginning here next month. While it is centered on subscriptions to the Met Opera and Carnegie Hall, I am pleased my own season will start with Lucy Dhegrae's Resonant Bodies Festival. I wonder if you've run across Julia Bullock? She's received a good bit of positive note over here, like <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-artistry-of-the-soprano-julia-bullock" rel="nofollow">this</a>, and, along with two other interesting young singers, Alice Teyssier and Sofia Jurnberg, will open the three-day festival. I'm very much looking forward to that. As to the change in landscapes, no, you are not "nuts" at all--and what I love about your photographs, with the Southrepps a stellar example, is how much you are able to draw out of the charms of every place you visit.
