"Outrageous" live 7.30pm concerts on R3

[Cellini]

I suppose we could give her to him but who'll pay for the flight from New York?

Brilliant!! (We could club together but he probably would not appreciate her anyway ...)

Interestingly (and a little OT I know )
when the Wigmore Hall opened most concerts started at 8pm or even 8.30pm
I guess the folk who went then didn't have to get up in the morning as they were often epics (a bit like some of the early prom concerts)

Wigmore Hall occasionally hosts some epic concerts even now. Leonidas Kavakos's concert with Enrico Pace on a sunday evening in January for one. They played:

Prokofiev: Violin Sonata No. 1 in F minor Op. 80
Auerbach: 24 Preludes for violin and piano Op. 46 (a selection)
Korngold: Suite ‘Much Ado about Nothing’ Op.11
Schubert: Fantasy in C D934

and ended the evening with a transcription of the "Danse Russe" from Stravinsky's Petrushka for an encore.

Almost 3 hours of music, with just a 20 minute interval after the Auerbach.

Fantastic playing from both Kavakos and Pace as well. Regrettably though, not recorded for radio 3 or Wigmore Hall live.
