- 4 Apr 2012 9:04 AM
- community & culture
"The UK has a strong image around the world and, as I’ve discovered, here in Hungary. We’re respected for our traditions, our reliability and the quality of what we produce.

In the meantime, he sent teasing letters to Charles Jennens, the librettist of the work (and of the oratorio Belshazzar), urging him to ...
