  1. Thank you so much for this. I particularly liked how being able to follow the score allowed me to appreciate the amazing ingenuity and inventiveness in the Beethoven serenade which I had not heard previously.

  2. Many thanks.All wonderful but I especially liked the Schubert.
    Oh to hear live music again,whether indoors or out!
