Simone Dinnerstein in a Schumann recital from Wigmore Hall today. Sheer pleasure throughout, a sensitively played Arabeske, a Kreisleriana that reminded me of just what an extraordinary piece it is and delightful Kinderszenen encores, all broadcast in excellent sound.

Steven Osborne interpreting Debussy Etudes from Wigmore Hall broadcast on 5th December. I wasn't expecting to like this recital, but I found it so enthralling I have listened through three times. He has put a lot of effort into bringing out the expressive possibilities of what are sometimes thought of as dry pieces. There is a lot of peculiarly Scottish charm, very different from French charm.

Ooo mostly Mozart today, looks good.
PIanist Llŷr Williams devises a programme for the Perth Concert Hall audience that connects Mozart and Haydn with a little French twist. Ravel's Menuet was written for the anniversary of Haydn's death in 1809. Debussy also contributed to this initiative along with several other prominent french composers of the day and created a hommage in waltz form, based on the translation of Haydn's name into corresponding note pitches as Ravel had done. Poulenc's short miniatures entitled Novelette are written in a similar vein and were published as a set of three short works dedicated to close friends. The concert by Llŷr Williams culminates in a Mozart double-bill of his C minor Fantasia and Piano Sonata also in C minor which were, unusually, published together and are often performed as a pair. The Sonata is dedicated to his pupil Therese von Trattner, who was also the wife of his landlord, and was probably intended for domestic performance or teaching purposes. It translates effortlessly into a modern concert platform nevertheless.Annoyingly listening to and commenting on radio 3...

Late to this as been out but seems lovely, think I will try listen to it again when it available.
Award-winning young Italian violinist Francesca Dego brings an all-Mozart programme of sonatas to the Perth Concert Hall, featuring three contrasting sonatas. The short and simple Sonatas in G and A were written while visiting Mannheim, in south-west Germany, a highly influential centre for innovation and the development of the orchestra. The Sonata K454 written six years later in Vienna is a more substantial proposition. According to a story told by Constanze, his wife, Mozart did not leave himself time to write down the piano part of K454 before its performance in Vienna and so performed with a blank sheet of paper on the stand - much to the admiration of Emperor Joseph II - according to the story.Annoyingly listening to and commenting on radio 3...
