Tuesday 24th : Monteverdi Vespers of 1610

While the Proms rage day and night with mighty symphonies, and Early Music Show has been pushed aside this weekend, here is something to calm and console us (me).

Susan Sharpe presents a performance of Monteverdi Vespers of 1610 recorded in Barcelona in 2010 with early music specialists L'Arpeggiata

Núria Rial (soprano), Raquel Andueza (soprano), Miriam Allan (soprano), Luciana Mancini (mezzo-soprano), Pascal Bertin (countertenor), Emiliano Gonzales Toro (tenor), Markus Brutscher (tenor), Jan van Elsacker (tenor), Fernando Guimaraes (tenor), Fulvio Bettini (baritone), Hubert Claessens (bass), Joao Fernandes (bass), L'Arpeggiata

Back from a week-long domestic duty which included sitting by the TV and watching the Olympics day and night (so it felt to me). No R3. What a relief and delight therefore to find this (it is a repeat but so what):

Jonathan Swain presents a selection of music from the European Union Baroque Orchestra including Fux, Schmelzer and Vivaldi.

great music. This TtN programme iirc is at least partly a repeat, but nevertheless a much appreciated one.

[Tom Adustus]

At one time R3 would have broadcast this sort of programme during the day or evening.

This was recommended by Caliban on a previous outing in May, see post 12 above! I missed it on both occasions. I shall try to catch it, thanks Dover for the recommendation.

I must say there are rather a lot of repeats lately. I often notice, more than by the music, that it is a repeat by the distinct comments the three regular presenters make.

[David-G]

Just listened to the Sammartini and Bernasconi concert on the iplayer. Excellent!! Thanks again for the recommendation.

Incidentally, I found a descriptive web page:

Definitely worth listening.

Nebra’s cantatas sound like Vivaldi’s opera (meant to be a compliment )

Yes, they do. And one can understand why Nebra was a leading Spanish composer in the early/middle decades of the 18th centurey.

Sunday 14th October

3:17 AM
Bach, Johann Christoph Friedrich (1732-1795)
Pygmalion, cantata for bass and orchestra
Harry Van der Kamp (bass), Das Kleine Konzert, Hermann Max (conductor)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01n9zg9

A substantial work by JS’s ninth son. I have a feeling that this is a repeat but still, it should be worth hearing.
