    Lostening to it now - excellent!

      The Oxford Lieder performance had a rave review in yesterday's Observer.

        I hope you enjoyed at as much as I did - I was there in the hall, and was completely bowled over by their wonderfully intense performance of Dichterliebe. As well as being on BBC sounds, the concert is available on the Wigmore's video stream https://www.wigmore-hall.org.uk/whats-on/202310231300 , and I'd urge anyone to watch it if possible: she's a superbly communicative performer.

          Yes I did enjoy and will listen again. Many insightful, expressive subtleties in Dichterliebe. I would have loved to attend. We saw her as an impressive soloist in Elijah at the Proms this summer (and happened to chat briefly to a couple who turned out to be her parents).

            Had been looking forward to the VW on today's offering but have been disappointed. I don't know if Roderick Williams has now adopted the heavier vibrato approach(I do hope not) but it was all rather mushy, and although I know the work reasonably well I found it hard to recognise some of what I was hearing.

              The R3 site might agree with you: only the Elgar listed.

                Some very nice wind instrument playing today.

                Nicolo Foron conducts the LSO Wind Ensemble in works by Richard Strauss and Jonathan Dove.

                  You have to ask if AI would be such a bad thing...

                  Under "Music Played" we have

                  Elena Urioste & Tom Poster
                  ​Violin Sonata In C Minor
                  According to the recital blurb the sonata was written by Luise Adolpha Le Beau*. Which makes Urioste and Poster imposters perhaps?

                      Like the look of todays concert, from the hay festival in 2022, heard a lot about that festival but never been.

                        I must have listened 6 or 7 times to Elisabeth Brauss’s performance of Carnaval in this concert broadcast last Thursday:

                        https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001svys

                        I’d previously been impressed by her playing but this has just got me hooked, marvellous interpretation I think.

                        Would be interested in others’ views
                        "...the isle is full of noises,
                        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                          For some reason I missed this . She has the most wonderful articulation and touch and is def in the must listen category. I tend to associate her with Beethoven , Schubert etc so it will be very interesting to hear in music that requires a lot of freedom.

                          On a piano note the Paul Lewis Brahms 1 with the Prague Symphony last night was excellent but had a truly terrible sound balance. You need to hear something that poor to realise what a good job R3 do.

                            Hannah French presents a great series of Lunchtime Concerts this week each with Jazz Inflections.

                            Just listened to todays: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0...n=share-mobile

                            Looking forward to tomorrow's with Joanna Macgregor.

                              So is today's schedule change announcement the end of Lunchtime Concerts? From April Essential Classics will run straight into "Classical Live", the rebranded, extended and soon to be permanently Salford based awful afternoon mish mash. Presumably there'll be a few contractual agreements to fulfil (eg Wigmore Hall) but it's not clear if once those are complete the BBC will still bother to go out and record chamber music without a presenter to then throw into the pot for use as chunks by Classical Live. It seems odd to remove everything that's distinctive about Radio 3, which would seem to make it very easy to abolish. Perhaps that's the plan.

                                Monday's Wigmore Hall concerts seem to have survived and will form part of 'Classical Live'.
