Music for Valentine's Day

It's a little late to mention the concert at Booth's Bookshop, I know (where does the time go?) but there's another concert coming up soon - and it's a UK premiere!
Michael Jones will be playing a recently re-discovered work for cello by the Spanish composer Rodrigo. It's called Como una Fantasia, and was written for a performance in 1979, for a Mexican cellist called Carlos Prieto. It doesn't seem to have been played since. It was only published in 1989 and the composer died in 1999, so this is quite an important event in the cello world. Rodrigo was blind, and composed all his music in braille - he was taught by the man who wrote the Sorcerer's Apprentice (I wonder if that gives any clue to what his music sounds like?).
Tickets are £10, as usual, from Booths.

And on the 16th March there's going to be a concert in Michaelchurch Escley. It's called Concert for Craswall, and will include music by Byrd, Monteverdi and Bach, sung by a countertenor and soprano, and with viols and harpsichord.
