Brizzle's musical moments

Watch out for the Solstice Quartet - their Bartok and Beethoven in Bristol set the scene for a Wigmore Hall debut last week - definitely a quartet to hear; last Thursday hot-shot Venezualan conductor Gustavo Dudamel came to Cardiff (still getting used to the fact Bristol is a small hop from Wales) and electrified in Prokofiev (though wasn't sure about his Mozart, despite the refined, playful and beautifully judged playing of pianist Emanuel Ax) ; I rounded off this week of musical treats with a trip to the, er, Tantric Jazz Cafe. Not sure about the name, but the jazz was fantastic.
