Salomon Concert
We're off to see the Salomon Orchestra tonight at St. John's Smith Square. Their being conducted by Dominic Wheeler and the programme is rather attractive, Ravel La Valse, Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherezade and Falla's El Amor Brujo, works that I've always been rather fond of. Possibly because, in my orchestral playing days I played in the Rimsky-Korsakov piece and played in a couple of the suites of music extracted from Falla's complete ballet. Salomon are doing El Amor Brujo complete, with mezzo-soprano soloist, which is rather unusual in the concert hall.
