Wow, the Definitive Audio is half hours away from London, this is good news. I did look at Google and it said 2.45 Hours but I might look some at something different. We probable will be staging near Royal Abler Hall, which is center city. We are very excited about the Bruckner concerts. The nigh as the Proms tickers hit the public Amy spend 3 hours, constantly clicking and refresh the Proms page in order to enter the queue. We were 6000+ in queue and eventually she was able to go though. The woman does have perseverance….

Any how we booked the following ebe in the Proms’ end:

Mozart / Peter Eotvos / Bruckner on Thursday 29 August 2013 by Philharmonia Orchestra and Esa-Pekka Salonen. This is Bruckner 7, we figured that if we in there then to miss the 7th would be ridicules.

Arvo Part / Britten / Berlioz / Saint Saens on Sunday 1 September 2013  by Orchestre de Paris  and Paavo Järvi. I would like to hear the Saint Saens’ organ symphony by French orchestra. Amy is wild about Janine Jansen and she insisted to hear her doing Britten violin concerto.

Tchaikovsky / Szymanowski / Rachmaninov on Monday 2 September 2013 by Oslo Philharmonic and Vasily Petrenko . This is Tchaikovsky 6 and I probably would not go there but Amy with absolute love to the Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances.

Proms Chamber Music on Monday 2 September 2013 at Cadogan Hall on 1:00PM. This is not my concert at all. It is some kind of medieval lute and Amy loves it. She does have some addition to medieval culture, well her undergraduate degree was   medieval culture and this is purely her concert.
 
Beethoven / Bruckner on Tuesday 3 September 2013 by Oslo Philharmonic and Vasily Petrenko. Bruckner 4 with Petrenko and “northern” orchestra. Will see how it goes.

Bach / Bruckner on Friday 6 September 2013. This is it. This is the musical punch line of the trip. The first part is full of Bach played by present-day organist at from St Florian’s Abbey. And then is the gloriest of all musical experiences imaginable: Bruckner Eighth Symphony with Vienna Philharmonic. I hope Lorin Maazel will not screw it up too much…

I promised to be a good trip. We still do not know if we go for 2 weeks or 1.5. Amy was in UK many times but not ousted of London during her adulthood. I never was in UK. So, we are thinking to entrench into the trip person 2-3 days out of London experience. Will see how it works… sine it is not far I do think I will try to waist Definitive Audio…
