pallas_athenaBE IT KNOWN unto all and sundry: I am doing a recital in Oxford on Sunday 29 October, accompanied on piano by the awesome Guy Newbury. It's at 8pm in the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building in St Hilda's College, a sweet little hall with a lovely acoustic.
It's entitled "I See Dead People" and features many songs about ghosts, night, death and sizzling gypsies. (Goth enough to make up for missing Whitby?) Composers include Handel, Mozart, Schubert, Berlioz, Hahn and Brahms.
Some favourite bits: I'm ending the first half with Richard Strauss's song Allerseelen, which is beautiful in ways I can't begin to describe.
The second half starts with Berlioz's Le Spectre de la Rose and ends with Brahms's Zigeunerlieder: eight short-yet-awesome songs inspired by gypsies.
The whole thing shouldn't be more than an hour long, including a 15-minute booze break. Tickets are £7 (£3 concessions.)
If you fancy a day out in Oxford, come along!
