TMF 2008 was outstanding, but TMF 2009 soared to new heights - led, of course, by Angela Hewitt’s pianistic excellence and conducting. And, deftly complemented by the brilliant Orchestra Da Camera Di Mantova, Angela’s superb piano instructor and mentor - Jean-Paul Sévilla, fantastic Italian violinist Giovanni Angeleri, remarkable solo instrument players (oboe, cello and flute), and timeless unparalleled vocal artists - Lott, Murray, Langridge, and Davies.
This year’s venues were every bit as intimate and exciting as before, the gala dinners impeccable, the TMF family (attendees) - both new members and former ones - a joy to be with, the TMF staff so very helpful and friendly, and the beautiful Perugian countryside - a trip back into the past (with all the modern conveniences). While chatting with members of the family" before one of the concerts, the remark was made, "You can see Angela's touch on everything." That pretty well sums it up!!! Our calendars are marked for TMF 2010."
