Sumi Jo, Ravel and Childhood

Well, I spent another evening listening to a highly publicised opera singer who sang a few pieces, and an orchestra that played a lot.That's not to say that Sumi Jo didn't sing well (indeed, she sang her roles beautifully) but the main role, The Child, in the choral piece presented to us L'Enfant et les sortileges is for a mezzo.

No matter. I really enjoyed it and liked the theme of childhood, particularly the 'Toy'Symphony by Leopold Mozart. Very cute.

In a fortnight, The Marriage of Figaro!
