    The discord of the presenter will make the harmonies of the music all the sweeter...
    Is she not there on Tuesday or is that just another of the many errors RT seems to delight in these days?

          I attended the Brautigam recital at St Lukes. This was a marvellous concert, with an interesting and unusual programme, beautifully played. The piano was a copy of a Walter of 1805, we have seen this instrument several times at the Wigmore Hall, notably in the superb recent recital by Kristian Bezuidenhout and Mark Padmore. I should add the presenter was perfectly acceptable.

            As I posted on the concerts you have attended thread, I was also at the Brautigam recital which was excellent. And I also mentioned that the presentation was unobjectionable ! I would just repeat my thoughts there that it is odd that these Radio 3 sponsored concerts are not broadcast live any more as used to be the case.

              I very much enjoyed the concerts on this series.

              As for the presentation, Katie Derham had a good script for each concert with no flippant and inappropriate comments.
              I assume she was presenting from the stage? She seems much better when presenting to viewers than talking into a microphone in the studio.

              The music was all very enjoyable.

                She was presenting from the stage ( well, floor level stage right as the LSO St Luke's stage is a moveable raised platform )
