Early music on TTN

[DracoM]

Many thx for notice of this.

[Richard Tarleton]

There is life outside the Proms….

There is indeed dover - but only in the watches of the night, it seems. And generally, if R3's daytime and nighttime output would only change places, I (and I daresay others on the Forum) would be very happy. It's a shame that those of us who keep daylight hours can only listen to the best of R3 via iPlayer. I have never listened, and am never likely to listen, to TTN or EML when they are broadcast.

Has the Early Music Late show morphed into the first part of TTN? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07qbmzz

I have no real objection to this, as long as I get my early music vittels.

That’s just TTN doing what it does. Early Music Late was simply shoved off when The **** Proms started*. Early Music Show isn’t faring much better. Ah, well. Another two weeks. I expect I shall survive.

* We weren’t even notified, let alone offered an apology.

[ed.] Thank you for the reminder (re: the Cantar di Pietre Festival)

Monday 5 September

How come I missed this? A feast of French Baroque music, not just the opening concert but through out albeit here and there, and to coonclude.

Catriona Young introduces motets by Charpentier performed by Ensemble Correspondances at the 2016 Zurich Early Music Festival.

The beginning of the programme is missing. Apparently the Prom overstayed.

Incidentally, the full tilte: Il Primo Omicidio overo Cain (has someone over-interpreted the title?)

Alessandro Scarlatti's oratorios are very satisfying to listen to as a whole but rarely played or performed. Do listen if you are new to them or if you haven’t been interested in. There are quite a few works in full on youtube if you want to follow up. Or if you want to sample this performance:

Looking forward to Daniel Sepec's Rosary Sonatas tonight. I have his SACDs of the work where, in addition to Hille Perl and Michael Behringer, he was joined by Lee Santana playing Archlute and Theorbo. I wonder if Santana simply got left off the listing for TtN?

I think this is a repeat and a very welcome one. If it isn’t a repeat, it’s even more welcome.
