Not sure about Harold Moore's, but I did step into a few small classical music shops which, miraculously, seem to be thriving in this day of fleeting sound bytes & MP3's.

Like New York & Tokyo, London seems to be one of the last strongholds of classical music. It should be on the pilgrimage list for classical and Jazz music lovers.

Interesting that these cities are also home to many of the great ensembles.

  Yes, I have tickets for two Wigmore Hall concerts. Haven't looked at Barbican yet, but there's nothing on at Covent Garden that interests me. I also plan on Proms in the Park, a lot of fun, and as many Evensong services I can get to at the cathedrals in London and other cities. Music will be a big part of my visit.

    I'm sure you'll enjoy the music in London.
    
    If you'll be going up north to the Scottish highlands, the gorgeous mountains, glens and lochs are alive with a music of their own.
    
    Otherwise, the T-Rex in the Museum of Natural History Dinosaur exhibit is truly something to behold.

      Hadn't thought of the T-Rex. Since I'm a dinosaur fan, I may look him/her up. Thanks for the tip.

    ... many magnificent performing ensembles do continue to thrive in places other than these SACD-rich cities.
    
    I've expanded my original statement to clarify this.
