before i lie awake in bed.

I've been listening to the Proms online and how deliriously happy it has made me! Of course, nothing beats the real thing, watching it live at Royal Albert Hall (let's ignore the poor acoustics, shall we?) but listening to it via the internet is better than nothing.

[If only I can watch operas online, sigh.]

It's Beethoven's Violin Concerto now, and it is so stirring that it makes my heart sing. What will I do without music..! I hope I never have to find out.

By the way, you know how the local papers have been giving rave reviews about the T'ang Quartet in Edinburgh? Mary reviewed it here at Dominic's website, and I'm afraid she wasn't too impressed. The last time I heard them was at least 5 years ago - I think I'll attend their next concert and decide for myself. And I guess no one will be interested in going with me, right? Come on people, let's do something fun for a change.
