Despite getting laid out by head-swimming changeofseasonviral ugliness, moosikal week continued in fine style with Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet. Is there a much better piece of music composed? NY Philharmonic were stingy with no encore and could have rearranged their excerpts more effectively, but it continues to be one of my fave orchestral douffas. Sound sound.

Dead Can Dance were on form but lacked the hair-on-end impact of when I first saw them circa early 90s. Maybe both my aging & theirs? Radio City Musical Hall is an awesome place just to walk in, let alone hear dark, swirling music in, and DCD did justice to their back catalogue. Time hasn't dimmed the power of Lisa Gerrard's body-quivering vocals. Amazing range.
