Liadov: Baba Yaga
Shostakovich: Violin Concerto No.1
Richard Strauss: Death and Transfiguration
Stravinsky: Symphony in Three Movements
• Vasily Petrenko: conductor
• Sergey Krylov: violin
"I can't imagine any other violinist dead or alive surpassing Krylov"
was what one critic said about this astonishing young Russian star
Liadov's brilliant musical witchcraft, Richard Strauss's dazzling vision of the
infinite, and Stravinsky's chrome-plated, art deco symphony,
composed in 1940s Hollywood

I've had contact from Danny: he's dealing with a number of family and friend issues at present so he's decided to set aside escorting.
I wondered if Matty might interest you.
He'd definitely be up for fucking you.
Really glad you msgd.
This is a house of germs at the mo.
Ross passed on his cold to me and now we're both full of snot and sore throats.
3:30 at his place.
He's happy to fuck you (as am I). Bit hesitant about you fucking him.
You OK with £130 as agreed last tim?
14/10/2019, 12:43 - David: BTW
Do you ever do DP?
Remember, I do not make people do anything they don't want to.
Matt has asked that you and I treat his ass gently on Saturday. He's happy for you to help prep him but I'm going to be the only one actually fucking him.
I'll bring that small butt plug with me: that seemed to help open Matt up last time I met with him.
Lovely to see you again.
Enjoyed the meet.
You are a delight to spend time with.

Surely the BBC didn't really want this to be a must see moment.
I am so fed up with the Alt-Right's use of meaningless hyperbole.

It is sobering to think that it is nearly forty years since I first saw David Pountney's production of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at the Liverpool Empire not really knowing much about the sound world or the theatrical world I was about to enter.
I can remember the delighted round of applause as the snow "disappeared", the joyous outpouring at the end of act two, the cry of dismay as Vixen was shot and the luminescent affirmation of the finale. Some experiences stay with you.
Both Roland and I share very fond memories of the work and the production and so the idea of a trip to Llandudno to catch it once more was easily agreed.
We were not disapointed as we were transported one more time into this celebration of the exuberance and fecundity of the natural world with its ongoing cycles. This time also I felt it was matched by a wistfulness about time passing, regrets and the arched narrative of sexual awakening and release.
Tomáš Hanus conducted a glowing version of the score whilst, in the main three roles, Aiofe Miskelly's Vixen, Lucia Cervoni's Fox and Claudio Otelli's Forester were all performances to savour. Another one of those great evenings in a theatre. My one slight caveat was that the work was not performed in English. Surtitles are very, very useful but nothing compares to the direct communication of being adressed in your own language.
