Iwent up to London with my husband yesterday , to a performance of Handel's Messiah in St Martin in the Fields. It was wonderful- a perfect start to the Christmas period. It's one of my favourite works and before this pesky RA kicked in, was a regular pre Christmas treat . The opening tenor solo brought tears to my eyes and as for the Hallelujah Chorus- wow! It was made even more special by the fact that I rarely get to go to concerts these days- it's often too much to cope with. I paid for it today- but it was worth it!!

\ ooooooooooh I would have loved that
so pleased it went well.
Hearing it live is much better i think if you can make it, you get caught up in the emotion of it.

Is that St John's, Smith Square Inky? We've been to a Chritmas concert there - not Messiah but it was still lovely.

Oh, how wonderful Maria; I would have loved it too. I always play the music over Christmas (usually when I'm in the house alone, I'm afraid, it's not everybody's cup of tea, and if they're out I can turn up the volume - well, you've got to, haven't you?)
