Frankfurt (Oder) with orchestra

A delightful repeat of last night, only this time at the orchestra's home here in Frankfurt (Oder) - formerly Frankfurt an der Oder - once, we realised tonight, a Hanseatic League City of much greater import than nearby Berlin... sadly the Nazis (in choosing this as their last stronghold pre-Berlin) and the Russians clubbed together to destroy 97% of the place in WWII.... only a very few Middle Age buildings are left.

We will see more Hanseatic League wonder when we take our first trip to Estonia, next week!

Our concert was followed by a splendid time in Fratelli's - one of the few restaurants which the Maestro recommends, which tonight was full of musicians.

Now we have a date for our return - August 2014; how splendid... and we might record together too... fantastic.

Quick drive to Berlin, then we fly home.... but then - back in Germany on Friday...

Auf wiederseh'n...
