I'm lucky enough to live in Ely, we're so lucky. Looking forward to talking about Shakespeare on Sunday, I'm finding it amusing using Google Bard to understand the great man's works.

I haven't been to Ely in a while and that addition to the Lady Chapel is a horror. Is she about to jump?

By far the most impressive section of Maestro is the re-creation of Bernstein conducting Mahler's Resurrection Symphony in Ely Cathedral. Apparently Bernstein had studied architecture as a student and chose Ely for the perfect acoustics. I hope this is the link to the original https://youtu.be/1-YW-6jM-Fc?si=2dOUTwEJ_rLTcKVy
