Wonderful Beethoven violin concerto (Sergey Dogadin up) at the final (sold out) international music festival concert at St Barts this evening. But Mendelssohn 'Fingal's Cave' and Italian Symphony were both a bit fast, furious and loud for my taste. Anyone agree?
Did anyone recognize the incredible Sergey Dogadin encore? And which Rossini overture was the orchestral encore (which Robert Trory told us we'd all know!)? 'The Thieving Magpie', 'The Silken Ladder' (my guess), neither of these?
What were the encores?

Thanks, Nasaroc. Ah well, at least I got Rossini right!
This was the second excellent local concert we went to over the weekend. On Saturday there was a wonderful (but poorly attended) recital of chamber music for wind and brass at St George's Christ Church and St Paul's in Woolstone Road (only just over the frontier in Forest Hill), put on as a one-off by a local group of musicians which I'm going to try to find more about. Highlights included a recorder consort playing 16th, 18th and 20th century music and an electrifying performance of Stravinsky's Symphonies of Wind Instruments. Aren't we lucky living in such a musical part of London!
