R3 in Concert one-stop shop

Gripping performance of the DSCH 11 on right now. Once again though I singularly fail to connect with Jonathan Biss’ pianism.

Not quite sure why? I really enjoyed his performance. Concert overall was terrific - almost got me liking the generally sub-fusc DSCH 11th. Good BBC engineering as well.

Agreed about the sound....unusually I listened on my 'big' system in my chilly music room via 'Sounds' - the woodburner's in the TV snug, but the system's not as good! I listen to fewer BBC evening concerts now since the BBC's decision to prevent listening via streamers.

If you’ve missed it on no account miss this DSCH11!

Fabulous playing from all sections of the orchestra and Hrusa a man inspired.

I have doubts about #11, but this performance scattered them to the four winds. No stone was left unturned and then the bells of Liverpool arrived!

Yes indeed . Hrusa also conducted the recent Jenufa revival at Covent Garden. The reception he got from the orchestra at both rehearsal and third performance was warmer than I’ve seen in many a long day.

He played that first movement very fast , very dry, with a lot of staccato (too much ?) and on a piano with a few duff thudding notes. It needed bit more fantasy . But my word he’s a virtuoso ..
