Hi Matthew,
On a related topic, did anyone on this list buy Alfred Brendel's
book of poems? Heard him read a few on the radio a couple
of years ago, and they sounded rather good. The only classical
musician I know who's turned to verse . . . . wonder if there's
any others . . . . . perhaps Nigel Kennedy is working on his
Aston Villa villanelles as we speak . . . . . . . . .
I would also be curious to know if anyone's read the new Craig
Raine book yet, and their thoughts on it, after reading a lengthy
press article on it. He seems a curiously stranded figure these
days, after being central for a season.
Rather embarrassed to see I've topped the percentage scale
for postings . . . . I'll pipe down for a while.
Andy
