  18. Tony: Thanks for confirming that tomorrow is Press Night - the lack of reviews had pretty much convinced me that something of the sort was in the wind for Links.

  21. The film was on BBC4 this evening, but only featured the Mozart Requiem. Powerful stuff, delivering a work highly penitential in nature, as implied by the Dies Irae which is so predominant in Mozart's work and which is very different in character from the Fauré version used by Kenneth MacMillan.
