[Ein Heldenleben]

Prom 9 BBC SSO Kindertotenlieder

Well if it’s just that it’s a huge missed opportunity..

ah looking at the Proms programme the “subs” are more than acceptable !

[Ein Heldenleben]

The many fans of Alim Beisembayev on the forum will need no encouragement to listen to this wonderful recital currently on R3 . A poet and a virtuoso. The daring rubato and wonderful touch in the E minor / Emajor etude is something of a miracle. Then the ultra virtuosic G#minor chromatic thirds etude - it seems beyond crediblity that a human can play like this. Only heard Pletnev play it better ….

J-E B’s playing is absolutely exquisite. With the two piano concerto to follow and the rarely performed 3 piano concerto to come it’s a veritable feast.

It's the BBC Singers' 100th birthday! They celebrate their centenary and look forward to the future...

No thanks to the powers that be - if they'd had their way we would have been having a Requiem Mass and a two minute silence today.
The programme for this evening's concert doesn't especially appeal, but I will listen - kind of how I've done over my lifetime really!

I don’t know what they put in the porridge North of the Border but , yet again, this BBC SSO performance of a Mahler symphony (No. 5 ) is shaping up to be a cracker. Wrigglesworth is really pushing the tempo variation - I love it.

I've long been an admirer of the BBC SSO, which I consider to be the best of Auntie's orchestras.

I was rather taken with the Helen Grime 'Folk' in the first half! Claire Booth terrific.
(Too soon for me to do Mahler 5 again, after Halle at the proms. I find I just have to ration out Mahler)

Typical, isn't it? You wait ages for a Mahler 5 to come along, and then ...

And now just after Rattle -Oramo in Mahler 6 - looking forward to catching up with the Gardner Rachmaninov concert after the Prom.

Magnificent Brahms 1st Piano Concerto from Garrick Ohlssohn and the BBC Phil tonight . The arm weight he put into that wonderful d major pedal point sequence in the slow movement and then into playing of the utmost delicacy. Truly lovely playing …

If I look backwards from the end of the Concerto ,I find myself largely in agreement with you, Ein Heldenleben.
However, I found Ohlssohn to be more matter of fact than Matterhorn in the first movement in which the orchestra scaled the peaks before Garrick had packed his gear at base camp. However during one of two of the duets in the work's slow movement Garry listened to the beauteous upper woodwind contributions and became inspired by them. No more US and Them but soloist and Orchestra in Concert.

Thereafter, well read our hero's lovely report.

I enjoyed the Rhenish Symphony in the first half.
