Verklarte Nacht - lunchtime - LSO Strings

Just heard it on the car radio. I guess it was un-conducted, and all the better for that. Apart from some rather loud sniffing and intakes of breath from (I assume) the leader keeping things under control, it was a fine account of Schoenberg's pre-serial masterpiece.

Rapturous playing.

The LSO string section is one of the glories of this country's musical life. (The rest of the orchestra are pretty good too!)
