[Mat]

Missed it by 5 hours.

How did you like it, CT?

 

[Contratrombone64]

It's on Friday evening, which is in about 10 hours from now, you didn't miss it.

 

[Mat]

Right, got it all sorted out now, though Friday is 3 June here.

 

[Contratrombone64]

Yep - Friday is 3 June here, too, we just get it before you do! I'm really looking forward to hearing this, just love the first Brandenburg concerto and love the fourth orchestral suite. Also like his choral music, so it's bliss.

 

[Mat]

I prefer the 3rd Brandenburg concerto. I could listen to it over and over again (which I did, a few years ago).

 

[Contratrombone64]

Yeah - the third is a blast and have played it in a string orchestra a couple of times. So incredibly enjoyable, playing Bach.
