Bad Kreuznach & Dresden

Christmas break??!!
Pah...

Two re-visits to beautiful Germany after almost two years...
Firstly to Bad Kreuznach (quite near Frankfurt); a gorgeous Spa-type place & staying in a glorious hotel which we did not have the time to enjoy properly!  Although the restaurant was still up to the excellent standards we remember... no snow this year (we got it in January last year!)
Very international audience, including some Brits; as well as a gentleman from Florida and a lady from Barbados... who both spend much of their time (via marriages) in Germany...

Then on to Dresden today, for another chance to sing in the excellent Dreikönigskirche - lovely acoustic... Great to sing Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus & the original Coventry Carol in such a building.

Both concerts afforded us delightful warm audiences who loved everything we did... what more could one ask? Oh, and they appreciated our CDs and music too; songbooks were off like hot cakes & cricket tea towels too!

Will explore Dresden a bit more in the AM (it was quite drive here today, so we got here late-ish)... then...
...On to Bad Elster, Halle and Jena before it becomes 2014...
