Břevnov Monastery in February

Visited this Cathedral and Monastery once again the last weekend in February. On a beautiful day just like today.

Tonight I will attend a Concert here with a friend, of Classical Music highlighted with Piano and Violin. The Violinist is: Alexandru Tomescu, the Pianist is Horia Mihail, who often accompanies Mr. Tomescu. Both Romanian. The Romanian Ambassador was in attendance, as were several other Ambassadors.

This evening's performance will include: Mozart's Violin Sonota No. 24 in E minor, K. 304; Franz List's Obermann's Valley, S.156 No. 6; Niccolo Paganini - Caprices Nos. 1, 13, & 24 for Violin Solo, and well as Balada by George Enescu & Habanera by Capoianu.

Imagine a small Royal Hall, built in the 1500's, with ornate frescoes above the windows, a ceiling magnificently painted not unlike a Michelangelo with Oil paintings of Marie Tereza and others from the Hapsburg Dynasty and add to that, a great violinist who way playing it all on a Stradivarius Violin made in 1702.

A big Thank You to Eva (and Tomáš) for the tickets and for the Pictures she sent me, two of which showing the Interior of the Maria Tereza Hall last evening are shown below; was very much appreciated.
