Pity his Bruckner last week wasn't broadcast!
(I'll be ensconced in the RFH for the LPO/Jurowski Mahler 7 tonight!

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

BEETHOVEN PIANO CONCERTO NO.1... HDs sound, fine...
Oh dear. Might be best to pass this over politely.
Very moderately paced, orchestral phrasing I can only describe as "cautiously precise". By the end of the first movement it was actually sounding rather Brahmsian, and not in a good way. Fiery? Heavens no. Soloist Imogen Cooper seemed perfectly attuned to the direction. Sadly.
As the slow movement began, I wondered what I might do to pass the time...
Finale livened up a bit towards the end. Timpanist seemed to enjoy himself. Glad someone did.Comment

Look forward to a report on the Mahler 7.
Not caught up with the LSO concert yet. The Stucky piece made a fair impression when I heard it under the same forces a couple of years ago.Comment
