Chopin Society Concert on a Sad Day...

It was 'not' a good day for Team France...


After we found out the result, we went to Chopin concert.


The pianist was Yevgeny Sudbin.


He is a marvellous pianist. Very talented.





Because of the result of Team France, everything sounded very sad today...


Thinking of you, Richard...

£10 Steak and Candlelight Concert ♪♪

We went to Flat Iron in Soho to have nice steak.


At this restaurant your choice is only a 'steak' or 'burger'.

I almost forgot to take a photo. Sorry, it was a half-eaten.

After nice steak, we went to Yauatcha to have nice desert. It is well known as a Chinese restaurant but it is not so well known that they have beautiful (French style?) cakes.


I had Mont Blanc and Jasmine tea. My husband had Orange Mille-feuille and coffee. (Sorry, completely forgot to take a photo...)

After nice desert, we went to the Royal Albert Hall for 'Carols by Candlelight'.


We were early so we were waiting at the Champagne Bar in the Hall.

After the nice Champagne, time for 'Carols by Candlelight'.

It was a very busy day but we really enjoyed every moment!

Love Comedy Opera at Glyndebourne ♪♪

Today we went to Glyndebourne to see L'elisir D'amore.

Beautiful setting! In the theatre we really felt cosy.


Needless to say, the performance was excellent!


Hoping to go back there with our hamper in Summer!!!

Chopin Society Recital at Polish Embassy ♪♪

We went to the Polish Embassy for Chopin Society concert.


The pianist was Mr Yves Henry. I felt that he was a kind of genius pianist. (As usual, forgot to take his photo...)

The dress code was lounge suit. I saw a lady in jeans and sweater! I do not like the people who cannot respect the organisers intention.


We had champagne reception afterwards. Really enjoyable evening!

♪Taro Hakase at Cadogan Hall♪

We went to Cadogan Hall for the violin concert of Taro Hakase.


The theme of the concert was Tangos. Nice selection of these songs and, of course, beautiful sound!

After the concert he was signing his autograph on his CDs. Many people joined the queue for that.  In addition many people were taking his photos. He is very popular!


Anyway it was enjoyable night for us!!!

Will Young, Bollywood & Black Eyed Peas

Today I got 2 CDs at HMV on Oxford Street. Nowadays there are very few CD shops on high street.

I like Will Young's 'Leave Right Now'. I got this CD for that! Listening to this song many times. My husband is asking me 'How can you listen to the same song over and over again?' I listen to the same song many times to enjoy the lyrics. And sometimes, it's for Karaoke practice!


Bollywood CD reminds me India. Good memories there!!! Although I do not understand what they are singing about...





By the way I also like Black Eyed Peas 'Where Is The Love'. Really good song. Now, the lyrics of this song should be appreciated all over the world!!!
