I've been a devoted John Ireland fan since my teens - I always seem to come back to his music. And in spite of how much I play and admire the piano music, I still think the Cello Sonata is arguably his finest work (I've seen it described as the greatest cello sonata since the Brahms.) Another work which runs it a close second is the Fantasy-sonata for clarinet and piano (I attended the Dartington Summer School a few years ago, and found a clarinettist who was really keen on it, and was over the moon when he found that I knew the piano part - he said that he hardly ever got chance to play it because he couldn't persuade any of his pianist friends to tackle it!) -
This looks an interesting series.

A most attractive and varied programme of Czech piano music beautifully played, I thought, by Christian Ihle Hadland. The Vorisek sonata was a real discovery for me, a work composed shortly before the composer's death at the tragically early age of 34. AND - an added bonus - it was introduced by Fiona Talkington ….Comment

An enjoyably varied programme of pieces by Beethoven, Mozart and Hindemith in today's Lunchtime Concert, the first of 4 from this year's West Cork Chamber Music Festival. The menu for the remaining 3 concerts looks pretty appetizing!Last edited by LMcD; 03-09-19, 20:45.Comment

I like John Toal as a presenter. He has a gift for 'painting the scene' which a lot of music radio presenters seem to neglect these days (not only music radio presenters, either). Is BBC Ulster the only regional BBC station that features classical music programmes these days btw? We could certainly do with more.And the tune ends too soon for us allComment

A really lovely performance of Beethoven's Opus 70 No. 2 today. RTE supplies the BBC with music from the West Cork Festival. (Have you ever listened to RTE's Lyric FM, by the way? If you're tired of Radio 3, it's a better alternative than CFM in my view, and there's a 'full works' concert after lunch on weekdays).
I agree with you about John Toal, by the way.Comment

Another truly excellent Lunchtime Concert today, with the Maxwell Quartet playing a wonderfully varied selection of pieces. This was a late night concert recorded in Orkney in mid-Summer - how I would love to have been there!Comment
