Lovely concert this evening, anyone else tuned into radio 3 ?

[BillMatters]

I hope nobody was talking while the Jess Gillam piece was being played .

I wouldn’t blame them it was thin stuff and barely worthy of her considerable musicianship.

Have you possibly missed BillMatters' point regarding Gillam and talking over music?

[Ein Heldenleben]

Have you possibly missed BillMatters' point regarding Gillam and talking over music?

No - I don’t like to think about that aspect of her show as it disrupts my equanimity. I usually hit the Through The Night button when it comes on and stay on it till Opera On Three. I would listen to the Jazz but they now voice over the music as well which , in my view , is a massive insult to the musicians. What is the point of obscuring the musical point you are commenting on by voicing it over ?
There you go - I just lost that equanimity.

Hailed by the Washington Post as "one of the finest pianists in the world", Richard Goode brings his insightful spark and finesse to Mozart’s Piano Concerto K 456.

[JasonPalmer]

Nice haydn at the moment, tuned in away from channel 4 news. Terrible things happening in gaza, so barbaric.

[JasonPalmer]

Looks good this evening and not my turn to put our son to bed.

Enjoyed the Rachmaninov. He's a mercurial player with rapid changes of mood. lovely encore. To my aged ears the microphone placements were somewhat "off" with the piano too much to the fore in the balance.

Agreed. The piano sounded a bit rough after the Rach though

I really enjoyed discovering the de Hartmann Scarlet Flower suite - I’d never heard of him or it, lovely stuff

[JasonPalmer]

Enjoying....

The Consone Quartet and friends play Haydn and Brahms and give the London premiere of Gavin Bryars's Sextet 'The Bridges of Königsberg.'

Looking forward to this evenings concert



Radio 3 in Concert


Anna-Maria Helsing conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra in music reflecting on humanity's relationship with the natural world. Jess Gillam is the saxophone soloist in Michael Nyman's Where the Bee Dances; and we hear two symphonies written almost a century apart. Sibelius was known to embrace nature for inspiration; and after the interval (here receiving its UK premiere), Jimmy Lopez Bellido's third symphony 'Altered Landscape' draws upon a collection of photographs held in the Nevada Museum of Art, the lived experience of a global pandemic in 2020 and the vibration of the earth itself.

[JasonPalmer]

Been entertaining guests so just tuning in now, its the interval and they playing a violin piece...


In a concert from City Halls, Glasgow, Ryan Wigglesworth conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Mahler's 4th Symphony, for which they are joined by glimmering soprano, Sally Matthews. Before that Steven Osborne joins for Wigglesworth's own Piano Concerto. And the concert opens with a rare chance to hear the Heroic Overture by Johanna Müller-Hermann: neglected for many years, it is gaining a reputation as a forgotten masterpiece.
