Gladman and TE? Take what you can get, my friend.Incidentally, speaking of music engendering 'peace' .... I went to see a - to me - brilliant young Russian violinist by the name of Victoria Goldsmith play the solo in Beethoven's violin concerto with the Southend Philharmonic last night. That's Southend, Essex. Quite what somewhat so brilliant a talent was doing here with us I do not know, but guess Essex hasn't seen anything like it since Nigel Kennedy played here back in 1980.
25 years ago our countries were mortal enemies before Thatcher, Reagan and Gorbachev broke the deadlock through dialogue. Yeah, communication is the only way forward and, if music is indeed the 'universal language', there is no more important medium.
