M...Weaver, I know you like Harrison Birtwistle too. Mark Padmore played in Birtwistle's 'The Corridor' at Bregenz (Aut) last year but sadly I missed it. www.markpadmore.com/ gives details of his 2010 programme which includes for instance Britten's 'Les Illuminations'. Some of the venues are not too far away from you. <br />Best,<br />GwilymGwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-56187898144962889052010-01-16T22:32:15.967+01:002010-01-16T22:32:15.967+01:00I am a fan of Britten too Poet.

He was an interesting man altogether.<br />Also like the Edith Sitwell poem - she is not a poet one hears much about these days. Whenever I go to Sedbergh I look in the bookshops for poetry books to add to my collection - shall put her on my list.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
