As you say, an outstanding concert. Certainly one of the most challenging concerts of my life and one of the most awesome (in the literal sense of the word). I’m not sure if I liked it (“like” seems an inappropriate word to consider) – it was a complete head-fuck on a piece (and performance) and three days later I’m still trying to come to terms with it. I feel very, very lucky to have been there.
i think we should all think ourselves lucky; genuinely one of those concerts that (at present at least) comes along once in a blue moon. Graham McKenzie told me he’s keen to include more Ullmann in future festivals, so let’s hope that happens.
Argh. I thought this would happen. It just wasn’t easily feasible for me to make it up to Hudds for this one, and I feared it was going to be something special. I’m happy for you that I was right!
Ah Tim, another suffer of “the HCMF qualm” – i feel for you buddy, i really do! Having said that, i’m glad it was you taking the mystery bus tour to A – a shadow opera & not i – talk about taking one for the team 😉

I see that son Imaginaire III is scheduled to be performed in Paris next June. Maybe worth making a trip:

I don’t think I played a great hand at HCMF this year. Or maybe that’s just a grass/greener thing.
i still can’t believe we missed each other!
Thanks for the Paris tip-off, not that one needs an excuse for a visit but that’s a good one 🙂
