        Just got back. It was exquisite. Having really enjoyed their award-winning disc, I decided I should take the opportunity to see them live. It was well worth the effort.

            Certainly looking forward to today's Lunchtime Concert. I was thinking I would like to explore more composers from this time. So this looks like an ideal opportunity.

              Very quick and belated words of praise for Kitty Whately and Joseph Middleton's recital, so expertly delivered that KW made every word crystal-clear. All the more impressive that they stepped in on short notice for Sarah Connolly.

              Also caught before the 30-day deadline the Manchester Chamber Concerts Society airings. It is admittedly curious to get the "tossed salad" format, with 3 different concerts sliced and diced to make the different programs, as is common with these 'festival week' offerings. But it is what it is, and was good listening.

                  Something weird in this broadcast: is it just me or does the iPlayer version stop before the end of the Beethoven?

                    Not just you. The end of the Beethoven can be found at the start of the following Afternoon on 3. There is an overlap, so you do not have to actually lose any of it. Hopefully it will get sorted tomorrow morning. Might be worth raising the issue via the iPlayer "Contact Us" system if not.

                      Listening now - such a brave performer. I don't always like what he does, but I always want to hear it.

                        I wish I could have thought this . This is exactly how I think of Mahan Esfahani and his performance.

                            Not quite lunchtime, but 12.10 pm - was anyone else listening to the Chiauroscura Quartet playing Death and the Maiden? Could just be my ears, but I thought the first movement sounded pretty rough and as if it had tuning problems - they certainly spent an inordinate amount of time tuning after the first movement. A short way into the 2nd, I had no choice but to turn it off.

                              What's for lunch today? Well, this week it's the West Cork Chamber Music Festival. Fascinated by the venue and the logistics of organising festivals in places like this. A little research repays the effort.



                              Feels as though this is evidence of a growing trend in 'cultural tourism', ie holidays with concerts thrown in, varying from classical pops to private concerts at exclusive venues. You gets what you pays for.

                              Enjoyed Haydn's 'Dream' quartet (opus 50/50 on Monday. Just wondered whether the glissandos in the last movement were scored or added to liven up an otherwise workaday ending. Nice, whatever it was.

                              And the tune ends too soon for us all

                                An interpretation, perhaps, of Haydn's sopra una corda ("on one string") instruction - in order to play the whole range of the phrase without changing string, the performer has to move his/her hand up the finger board which can (but doesn't necessarily have to) result in a portamento - or even a glissando if the player chooses to understand the instruction to require it.
