    Pleasure, Colin! Watch the radio schedules for Herbert’s next concert in Salzburg on July 28. I saw that it will get a delayed broadcast on France Musique on August 11. Maybe it will get broadcast live on Austrian radio. The programme is mouthwatering!!!!

    What a moving tribute and HB was clearly moved by it. In the closeup of his face, he looked fantastic for 97 – better than me even though he’s ten years ahead!! If there is a video of the tribute is there also a tribute of the concert??? A consummation devoutly to be wished.
    Thanks for this, Colin.
