Beaches and a prom

I'm really very bad at updating at the moment. We went to the seaside on Saturday and just for a change of scene didn't make our usual trip to Brighton but went to Littlehampton instead

Oh, I adore Bartok's second violin concerto -- I think it was the piece that woke me up to Bartok.

It's one of J's favourite pieces. He's got 3 different recordings of it and one of the reasons we went to this concert was because he wanted to hear a Hungarian orchestra play Bartok. He wasn't disappointed!

I've only got two; I'm just listening to Isaac Stern :) I've never heard it live -- I think it's going to be on in Manchester this season -- really must get off my backside & get around to booking.

I think if we didn't go to the Proms we wouldn't go to anything!

I don't know which recordings J's got as our classical music CDs are in a horrendous mess. We did start cataloguing them but haven't got very far. We haven't bought the same recording twice yet, but it won't be long.

I've never quite got around to cataloguing, but I couldn't survive without them alphabetised. I get very flustered when ones go missing because they're in the car or down by the exercise machines.

I think ours were alphabetised once, but over the years any kind of system there once was has vanished. We *really* need to do something about it.

I suspect it's easier where two people's collections don't overlap.
