EM Now (last Monday!) was a recital by by 4 X Baroque
Some pretty neat recorder playing included...maybe a tad too much ornamentation, but brilliant if you like that sort of thing.
EM Show on Sunday
might be this:
....highlights of a concert given by flautist Linde Brunmayr-Tutz and harpsichordist Lars-Ulrik Mortensen at the Mozart Hall in Vienna's Konzerthaus last January. The programme includes music by Jean-Marie Leclair and Jacques Duphly.
On the other hand, it might not, because two EMSs (including this) are dated 24th May. C'mon you web-spinners, get a grip.
EM Now (next Monday, 11th May)
Less uncertainty about the date of this one, and an unusual appearance of the piano on the show:
Alexander Tharaud is one of the star pianists of his generation. From a concert recorded at the Palau de la Música Catalana, we'll hear music by François Couperin, Duphly and d'Anglebert in which his sense of characterisation and attention to detail really come to the fore. Tharaud is part of a long line of French pianists borrowing from the harpsichord oeuvre and proving that these pieces lose nothing in translation between instruments. In his hands we're transported to the exuberance and ostentation of the Court of Versailles. Presented by Georgia Mann.
François Couperin: La logivière, from 'Livre de Clavecin No. 1', Les baricades mistérieuses, from 'Livre de Clavecin No. 2', Passacaille, from 'Livre de Suites No. 2', Les ombres errantes, from 'Livre de Suites No. 4', Le tic-toc-choc ou les maillotins, from 'Livre de Suites No. 3'
Jacques Duphly: La Pothoüin
Jean-Henri d'Anglebert: Chaconne d'Anglebert
Alexandre Tharaud, piano
