That 4 Aug is Tavener, not Taverner! (i.e. not very Early...)

[mercia]

do we include the Greek Myths prom ?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/whats-on/2014/august-02/14964

& St Matthew Passion ?

Alas, no. When I saw this I, too, overlooked the missing 'r' and got excited...all too soon deflated.

This was more like it…
BBC Proms 2013. Taverner and Gesualdo with the Tallis Scholars and Peter Phillips.

Anymore mistakes etc.?

& St Matthew Passion ?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/whats-on/...ember-06/15116 [perhaps not]

what do we know about this "staging" of St MP ? is the chorus not in serried ranks but running around the stage ? with costumes and props ?
a shame this prom is not one of the televised.

Simon Rattle’s Matthew Passion was broadcast on R3 back in 2010. I was very disappointed by the performance. I remember that the Forum was divided with wilf leading ‘That was not good enough’ camp.

Personally, I don’t feel I need any visual aids to this work.

thank you very much

Rattle's gurning is certainly a distraction I can do without...

I must say that the news today is not good with some of the non-musical concerts planned by pop groups etc. I'm also against certain areas (such as early music, chamber music and new music) being deprived because of the inclusion of pop culture etc., and the general dumming down.

I too would prefer not to have a Rattle concert - but I supppose I just won't switch on for any of these broadcasts.

If you are reffering to Rattle then I suppose i should have said that in my opinion he's not worth hearing, but for some he may be fine. It's far to tedious to go into reasons, let's just say I'm allergic to him, and quite a few other arm wavers too.

I'm with you all the way as far as Rattle-phobia goes... His disatrous Mahler 2 on EMI put me in a bad mood for weeks... and was off-loaded with all possible haste. His pristine reading of the Rite of Spring is par for the course. Whither the Berliner 'Klang' of yore?

It's a pretty thin year for C18 composers all round, with hardly any Handel, no Haydn, very little of C P E Bach and Rameau who both have special anniversaries (300 and 250 respectively) to celebrate. And even some well-known early C19 names are poorly represented: no Mendelssohn, no Rossini, no Weber, a couple of Schubert symphonies, a single Schumann work. The programme seems dominated by the period from c 1850 - c 1950, with especial emphasis on late C19 and early C20.

That's a real pity. I haven't looked at the season yet. Normally its in the radio times as a pull out.
