Vilabertran is a small town 150 km to the North of Barcelona where every year since 1992 is held a Schubertiade. Its Artistic Director, Jordi Roch, was so kind as to give me the interview you can read this week.- Details

Song of the week: Armida's Garden (H. Parry) - L. Dawson, M. Martineau
I didn't know the song Armida's Garden, nor the composer, Hubert Parry, until I heard of them on Twitter, thanks to Nigel Foster and Kristy Swift; they are @armidasgarden Art Song Duo. We can listen to that lovely song performed by Lynne Dawson and Malcolm Martineau.
