Flautist Rachel Beckett, JEG, Richard Fitzgerald (orchestral manager) and onlooker.
I have been away, playing in John Eliot Gardiner's version of the Brandenburg Concertos, in the schloss in Koethen, where JS Bach lived and worked for a time. Two concerts with English Baroque Soloists in the spiegelsaal and the other in the JS Bachsaal. The mirrored room is very pretty and the surrounding rooms impressive too with large painted portraits and tapestries. Full house every time and satisfying from... all points of view.
We stayed in Dessau throughout, so went to the Bauhaus and to the 'Meisterhausen' up the road among wonderful trees. Both Dessau and Coethen very quiet and atmospheric, with a constant fine mist of rain.
