Simon Lepper is one of the UK's most gifted piano accompanists, an unfailingly responsive and acutely sensitive pianist, marked out to follow Gerald Moore and Roger Vignoles in the great tradition. Here, four outstanding works for clarinet receive beautifully voiced performances of technical brilliance and consummate understanding. http://www.stgeorgesbristol.co.uk/event.php?pid=939 And it's only ?7 a ticket!

Of course I'm the same with the Brahms clarinet, erm, viola sonatas.

The conductor is Jonathan Pryce-Jones with the Manchester Concert Orchestra and the Halifax Choral Society. Thos will also be my first time of going watching an orchestra, and I'm really looking forward it. Loz xx

Timothy Orpen plays the exam pieces on the ABRSM grade 7 CD, and he looks quite jolly (daughter might say "hot" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )in the photo in the sleeve notes, so my daughter's keen to go. Simon Lepper has been kept busy by ABRSM in the past too; we have various CDs of cello exam pieces, where he is playing the accompaniment. Not sure if we'll make it, though, as we're supposed to be leaving for a long weekend in Sheffield that day.. We were at the Colston Hall last Sunday to hear the Philharmonia Orchestra under Vladimir Ashkenazy (sp?). I hadn't been to an orchestral concert in a very long time and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was nice to see and hear the bass clarinet in Rachmaninov 2, as well as the ace clarinet solo in the third movement. My brother's visiting later in the month so we can hear the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra play a programme of Michael Nyman music, again at Colston Hall.

Just hope I don't fall asleep like last time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) (not a reflection on the performance but general tiredness + big dinner + nice comfy velvety seats = (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) )
