Yes I agree here - we have demonstrated with the rare Beethoven page that there is much good music that is neglected in favour of playing the same things over and over again.

I frequent a great used CD store. The majority of the B stuff is unusual and/or period instrument. Most excellent.

Rod,

Are you going to see Fidelio or are you afraid the set will look like the brig on the star ship Enterprise?

Well, I don't particularly approve of the extortionate prices for this production. I want to go but I'm in too minds about it, the venue being open air will not help the accoustics and the music will probably be drowned out by rain falling on the canopy!
