Old School Spiffy

Well "Old Chapel" spiffy to be more precise. Welcome to the Octagon Chapel in Norwich, where, thrice a year the faithful gather to drink rather a lot of wine and enjoy the dulcet tones of the Bach Players.

A tiny place, untouched by the centuries and the perfect setting for period music played on period instruments by some of the world's top players.

Apologies for the crappiness of the photos; I had to sneak these on my tiny camera-ette.
This time around they gave us Vivaldi and Ferrandini, with Sally Bruce-Payne singing stunning alto in Vivaldi's Stabat Mater and Ferrandini's 'il Pianto di Maria'.
Boffo all round.

Boffo and spiffy pretty much sum up the evening.
