Last year we attended a concert in the Eglise-Saint-Michel in Fontevraud. The Chamber Orchestra of Bratislava performed the works of Mozart, Rossini, Vivaldi, and Saint-Saens among others. This year we went again to hear an almost identical programme.
Last year it was cold and wet on the last Sunday of June. We thought the Summer was never going to start. We huddled together in the cold church.
This year things were different, weather-wise. It was a beautiful warm day followed by a pleasant evening. The show was not a sellout, though, possibly because of the big football final between Germany and Spain (Spain 1, Germany 0). Even though there were fewer people I didn’t think there was the intimacy between performers and audience that made the music sparkle last year. It was still a very pleasant performance, especially the flautist.
