NormanH Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I watched one of them and you are right...it was however tinged with a hint of jealousy and regret as when I came to France it was almost 50/50 with settling in Berlin, but I thought that Germany would be too expensive ...[:'(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Yes, I do understand that completely. I met a woman in the French class I was attending years ago and she told me she was living in Vienna and had recently relocated to the Dordogne.Talk about jaw-dropping; I think mine dropped a metre and I was rendered speechless.....!About Daniel Hope, I believe that I might have met him once when he was with the St Martin in the Fields Orchestra.

NormanH Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I enjoyed it probably more than you did, but I think that outdoors performaces never come over so well on TV.However it lead me on to discovering this programme that I found very interesting and informative about Rameau:https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/053995-000-A/jean-philippe-rameau-le-maitre-du-baroque/so it's a double thank you [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 I know it's not possible for you to watch this and I know about iplayer no longer working for us. But there MUST be some way of accessing this. I just KNOW you would LOVE this programme:[url]https://www.gramophone.co.uk/classical-music-news/article/bernard-haitink-celebrated-on-bbc-two[/url]When it finished, I couldn't trust myself to speak for several minutes. The footage of the war years in Amsterdam and his account of how his father was removed for questioning by the gestapo would give anyone knuckle-biting anxiety.And the music, oh the music......first and foremost moving to the very last note.
