Alfred Brendel set to retire in 2008

Well, there goes one idea for the re-opening season! Here's a link to the Reuters article, plus a blog writer from Lithuania who says some nice things about the Usher Hall.

Of course, we all wish Alfred Brendel a happy retirement and are thankful for the many superb performances he gave here. I don't know if he's at next year's festival, but you can catch him at City Halls in Glasgow next year, if there are any tickets left.
