To St John the Evangelist, Islington, tonight for Michael Waldron conducting an LCS programme featuring organist James Offord, who plays concertos by Malcolm Arnold & Poulenc, & in between a work by Bach that inspired the latter: the Fantasia & Fugue in G minor, BWV 542.

This turned out to be a wonderful concert, with James Offord a marvellous organ soloist in the Poulenc & Malcolm Arnold concertos and equally outstanding in the Bach Fantasia & Fugue in G minor. Michael Waldron & @theLCSmusic orchestra were superb!

A remarkable evening celebrating in high style the extraordinary achievements of Dame Joan Sutherland and equally those of her husband, coach and conductor, Richard Bonynge. He was present to receive the Petipa Award 2025-6 for services to the heritage of classical ballet.

A great artist.
Stephen Kovacevich has died at 86. A searching interpreter of Beethoven and Brahms, he leaves a distinguished recording legacy and memorable collaborations with Martha Argerich and Jacqueline du Pré.

A major step for UK Puccini fans with @ScottishOpera's fully professional forces under music director Stuart Stratford presenting the first version of Franco Alfano's Turandot completion, incomparably finer than the second, cut text. David McVicar's staging is equally strong.

I think he has visa issues and would sooner leave the country then have somebody knocking at his door early in the morning asking a lot of questions.
