As summer fades and autumn takes over, our thoughts turn, of course, to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, in which each season gets its own violin concerto.
Sit back close your eyes, and let the music wash over you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Autumn.

Thanks you for this thread. It will keep it in my mind to make some rejuvelac for some proper cashew nut cheese

Saw this performed locally some years ago by the Halle. Brilliant and in some ways spectacular performance, led by lead violinist Iona Brown

We shouldn't forget, either, that Sir Neville Mariner was a Lincoln lad, who went to the Lincoln School, as was/did musician Steve Race

Neville Mariner was a violinist and famous (obviously not that famous!!) conductor. I remember Steve Race as a pianist - more jazz than classical - and presenter/panellist on radio and television programmes.

My Grandad was a bus conductor on the Coropration buses. Not sure which school he went to though. Joking apart, have a listen to Classic FM. Neville Mariner often gets a name check on there.
