My husband went to the concert of Indian classical music given by Partho Sarothy and Kausik Sen at the Invention Studios.  There used to be more Indian music in Bath &#8211; perhaps to entertain people who&#8217;d retired there after serving in the Raj &#8211; but now you usually have to go to Bristol to hear it.  The concert was good but the venue rather gloomy with its dark walls.<\/p>\n<p>He also took our elder son to hear Natalie Clein and Kathy Stott.  This was our son&#8217;s first concert and we noticed throughout the festival that there were a few more young people at concerts than in some previous years.  They thought the Rachmaninov op. 19 cello sonata came off best; the programme also contained one of Bach&#8217;s cello suites. Shostakovich&#8217;s op. 40 sonata had the feel of a piece written by someone who was still getting a feel for the instrument and not trying anything too daring.  The concert ended with a tango by Piazzolla (who also supplied the encore).  Suddenly there seems to be a lot of his music around and while it is enjoyable to listen to I&#8217;m not sure how much real merit it has and whether he will survive being currently flavour of the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wasn&#8217;t able to attend more than two concerts because of my own singing commitments during the Festival but others in the family got out more.
