The perils of cybernetic automatic interconnections & dubious security systems ....horrendous !!
Hello from Berko in The chilly Chilterns !! Before I warn you about the perils of cybernetic malfunctions, I'll bring you up to date with the past year. As I've been abroad much of the time with some of my most wonderful International Breathers, and without my computer, much has taken place without record - so here goes. In Jan '11, I was lucky enough to accompany amazing Anna Larsson, contralto brilliante, for her debut as a spectacular "Kundry", "Parsifal" at La Monnaie, Bruxelles - singing along with a fascinating REAL live Albino python wrapped around her right arm ..hmmm, talk about a cool contralto ...breathtaking .. then Feb....some tranquil days in London with lovely Melanie Diener, soprano, singing with the LPO ..fun hours in stimulating company. Ainhoa Zubillaga and her colleague Olatz "popped over' from San Sebastian, Spain, taking in the local fresh air & visiting The Royal Opera House, London, for a coaching with my friend Richard Hetherington. Next, a truly wonderful experience at The Royal Festival Hall, London, was as Guest of the great French contralto, Nathalie Stutznmann, singing with Sir Simon Rattle & The Berlin Philharmonic Orch - Mahler 3 ...oooh, another life enhancing performance..In March a magical journey to Dear Friends in Zurich for some 'serious breathing', & lots of fun with younger Friends....most uplifting spiritually, then on to My Family Friends in Munich, followed by fascinating days in Stuttgart at The Opera, with remarkable Rosalind Plowright, creating a phenomenal interpretation of 'The Prioress', in "The Carmelites " - she literally 'stole the show' as reported ...unbelievable - and is back there now for more performances... the next day, due to 'fitting in' last minute bookings, I flew to Stockholm, for Anna L and her Future Stars Programme - very exciting ...The warning about cybernetic malfunctioning relates to a text I was sending to an Agent, regarding a singer. Whilst I was writing the text, a noisy 'text alert' came thro', which I realised, after sending the info. to the Agent - had also 'connected ' with the actual singer I'd assessed - and the text was automatically sent to the Agent and singer - she was surprised and happy as I'd recommended her - but oh, what a disaster had it been otherwise ..scaaary ..does it only happen with iphones? Some investigation is obviously urgent ...have you had a similar experience ? 'byee for today, catch up again soon ...and don't forget ..k..p b.......g ... toi toi toi ...simsannabim...
