    Today's recital (repeated next Sunday) was an interesting programme of piano Music by Messiaen, Saariaho, Ligeti, and Schumann given at the Wigmore Hall by Danny Driver.

    Only heard part of Kreisleriana, rarely performed but Schumann at his most inspired and a lovely performance too by Mr Driver.

      Berlioz: Les Nuits d'ete
      Faure: La Bonne Chanson
      Poulenc: Tel jour, tel nuit
      Ravel: Cinq Melodies Grecques

      Kitty Whately, mezzo-soprano
      Simon Keenlyside, baritone
      Malcolm Martineau, piano.


      We can’t see how the concerts are organised (chopped-up or in full), it looks a very good week for song recital fans.
      I heard some of this and was impressed by Kitty Whately (mezzo) and M Martineau - especially in the Faure songs.

        Malcolm Martineau/Keenlyside/Roschmann

        Today's programme was superb (1.00pm 28/03/2018) - wonderful Schubert songs. I don't think you can get better than this.

            I was very glad to hear the repeat yesterday of Chistoph Prégardien's Lunchtime recital with Julius Drake. Having admired this singer in Lieder over the years but never heard him live, I made the effort to take myself off to Wigmore last Monday and was not disappointed. He really does put the songs across beautifully. The programme was well chosen with the individual items in the first group of songs linked thematically to the Schumann Liederkreis Op 39 which followed. We also got a second encore which was not broadcast.

              Sounds like an excellent concert, must try to catch it on iplayer. Thanks for flagging it up Gurney.

              I also fancy , and have done for some time, adding to my few Pregardien discs. I have Die Schoene Mullerin and Dichterliebe , but not much else.Strong recommendations welcome.

                Thanks for the nudge. I noticed that last year DHM brought out a 4CD box of Prégardien recordings with Andreas Staier on fortepiano which I have ordered for about £14 from a market place seller.

                  The second item on today's Lunchtime Concert was a rather attractive cello sonata by a composer new to me - Dora Pejacevic.

                    An interesting chamber music concert:

                    Glinka: Grand Sextet in E flat
                    Saint-Saëns: Caprice on Danish and Russian Airs
                    Prokofiev: Quintet for oboe, clarinet, violin, viola & double bass

                    I thought Ensemble 360 sounded very good.

                      My thoughts exactly. The Saint-Saëns and the Prokofiev were new to me.

                        I saw this and thought what an original programme!

                          I've become rather fond of Dora Pejačević's music lately.
                          The cello sonata is available c/w the piano trio on the CPO label,I like the string quartet and piano quintet too.
                          All available to listen to in the Naxos library

                            St Magnus International Festival: 24-27 July

                            Four chamber concerts with each concert including works by not so familiar (to me) composers. The Telemann sonata performed by Danish Sinfonietta was excellent.

                            Today’s programme.
                            Highlights from Orkney's St Magnus International Festival 2018 from Purcell to Boulanger.

                              Caught some of todays interesting programme, the quite heavyweight Franck Piano Quintet flanked by two works with a lighter feel.

                              I don't know the Franck, but really enjoyed it. Anybody got recommended recordings ?

                                I attended the Radio 3 lunchtime concert today at LSO St Luke's which was recorded for transmission on Tuesday 25th September. I highly recommend it, providing one is a fan of Chopin of course, since it was an all Chopin recital by Ingrid Fliter. A bit of a tour de force, she played the entire programme without interruption ( as we were advised by Fiona Talkington prior to the concert ) Three nocturnes, a polonaise, mazurka, waltz and ballade with a further nocturne as an encore.
