Wigmore
first nights have
often been a little awkward
in the recent past, and
this one was no exception,
but as those last repetitions
of ‘Ewig… ewig’ faded
away, there was again
a sense that this was
a symbolically right work
for the occasion: the
hall may have changed,
but the fundamental importance
of what is offered in
this special place will
always be there for us,
constantly renewed by
those who interpret it.

Better
than Sex? If Mephisto
ever offered me the classic
deal, what would I want
out of the rest of this
life? Not sex — I’ve done
all that and it never
brought me happiness.
I think I’d trade eternity

COLLECTOR's
CORNER
Collector's
Corner aims to become
the Internet's central
resource for the trade
and discussion of live
concert and opera performances
not otherwise commercially
available on disc. It
is for collectors who
wish to swap (no selling
is permitted) with other
collectors rare, historic
and
contemporary performances.
It functions in the same
way as any standard bulletin
board. Readers simply
post lists of recordings
they wish to swap and
wait. The board will remain
unmoderated.
