This one really is about Afternoon Concert, rather than Lunchtime Concert.
Much enjoying this afternoon's offering. I might have preferred the works contextualised differently but that's just me. The current recorded performance of Ukraine-born Serge Prokofiev's 2nd (and, to me, greatest) Piano Concerto is a keeper! The Fauré was quite a find, too.

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

It isn't just you; it's something I've grumbled about for quite some time now. It started I think with the disassembly of concert recordings, the parts of which then found themselves scattered between other bits and pieces. By the way was there any indication why the Raff symphony became 2 movements of a Schubert Mass?Originally posted by Bryn View PostThis one really is about Afternoon Concert, rather than Lunchtime Concert.

Ouch! Listening again, did I just hear Ian Skelly, in his closing comments, describe Prokofiev's Op. 16 Piano Concerto as being composed when its Prokofiev was but 22? Hmm, the original from which the authorised version, maybe, but what we know as the 2nd Piano Concerto actually came after the popular 3rd, when its composer was into his 30s. Prokofiev is said to have claimed to have completely recomposed the work. Those who know both the Cello Concerto and the Symphony-Concert might get some idea of how far Prokofiev might have gone in his recompositionComment

Enjoying the end of today's afternoon concert makes me wish I had tuned in earlier.
Maybe one for a listen again sometime.Annoyingly listening to and commenting on radio 3...Comment

Eh,what, looks like the webstite is about a completely different concert....how annoying,
Edit..my mistake I was looking at afternoon concert when the concert is the lunchtime concertLast edited by JasonPalmer; 01-02-23, 13:27.Annoyingly listening to and commenting on radio 3...Comment

Holst's Walt Whitman overture, never heard it or heard of it before.Comment

Strange sort of admixture of Wagner's Lohengrin and the Borodinesque or Balakirevian sub-gestures apparent in that: I can understand the self-criticism he wrote to VW about, referring to turgidity, certainly applicable to the orchestration.Originally posted by gradus View PostComment
