We have now arrived in Geneva and I have an excellent room with a view over the Lake. It is wonderful to have escaped the scorching heat in Italy, which was of the infernal variety. When we came to Udine we couldn’t do anything except sleep or spend the afternoon in the hotel swimming pool. I chose the latter.
On the next day we had our concert in Villa Manin. We again rented a harpsichord, which came all the way from Rome. This time I made doubly certain that it was tuned right. So everything went well. I played a lot of songs on the harpsichord, Venus As A Boy, Aurora, Hunter, Pagan Poetry, All Is Full Of Love, Hope and Vökuró.
It was nice to once play a “real” instrument with a character of its own. The top notes were slightly out of tune after a few songs, but it just added to the charm.
There were no sexy skeletons this time!
We will have a few days’ rest now, for our next concert is on Wednesday. I’m not quite sure what I’ll do with my daughter here - we’ll see.
