I've 'done' Tchaikovsky's lovely place in Klin, the Scriabin apartment in Moscow and Rimsky-Korakov's home in St Petersburg, but Ivanovka (and tolstoy's Yasnaya Polyana) are high on the wish-list. When Putin's gone, perhaps.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-14664239932532630192019-10-25T03:32:13.294+01:002019-10-25T03:32:13.294+01:00Thanks for the delightful and well-illustrated acc...Thanks for the delightful and well-illustrated account of the Villa Senar.

But here goes. <br /><br />I only now (in Matan's lovely apartment in Berlin BTW) saw your wonderful post about Eastern Star. Thank you (from Guy and from me) about those perceptive comments. You totally got to the heart of it and understood why it's tortured me for so long. <br /><br />To be discussed .... with gratitude. So kind of you to come along. Let's hope your readers are encouraged to go along to the Tara Theatre. It's a great space and Earlsfield is not that far away. <br /><br />CxxxxChris Gunnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100080289833081045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-44688115967184203572018-10-06T23:26:58.455+01:002018-10-06T23:26:58.455+01:00Indeed - it's too bad that Rachmaninov family ...Indeed - it's too bad that Rachmaninov family wrangles have kept Villa Senar in limbo, and it seems that visits will still be limited even if everything's finally sorted out. But I hope at least that there will be more cultural events there - in the gardens in the summer, if it's possible to plan with the capricious Swiss weather...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-63869919117924383992018-10-06T22:47:45.735+01:002018-10-06T22:47:45.735+01:00Who would have thought, indeed?
