Lunchtime Concerts one stop shop

[Lento]

Sorry to be pedantic, but does anyone know a reason why Barry Douglas' version of the opening of Shepherd on the Rock differs from the one I know (3 extra notes x2)?

Very interesting indeed.

A good opportunity to put work on hold for an hour each day !!

Thanks DS.

This looks like a potentially very good hour of radio.

Patricia Kop... Playing Mozart and Enescu.

I found Pat Kop's Mozart just a little too whimsically folky in places, but it was an interesting listen. Janine Jansen, broadcast the same evening, is probably more my kind of violinist.

I need to thank this thread for reminding me to dash off and get on a bus to Swindon for a lunchtime concert at the Wyvern Theatre which I had been meaning to attend today but had forgotten about. I clicked on it just after midday and made it there for a one o'clock start. A very good young mezzo, Polly Leech, gave us Mahler Rückert and Berlioz Nuits d'été - a lovely antidote to a chilly mid-January day and the second time I have heard "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" in the last 24 hours. It's on the soundtrack to the extraordinary film "Birdman" which we saw at the cinema last night.

Goldberg for a String Trio: 4 March

Natalie Clein is partnered by two more string players in an unusual arrangement of the Goldberg Variations, originally composed for keyboard.

I have heard a string quarted version but not for a string trio. I am curious.

Just enjoyed the baritone, Jonathan McGovern, doing some Schubert Lieder on the Lunchtime Concert. Songs beautifully put across. New singer for me. I will keep an eye out for him.

I have really enjoyed this week's concerts of predominantly late Schubert chamber music and piano duets. This was powerful, lyrical and dramatic music eloquently performed, with unobtrusive, concise introductions, and from complete concerts not a pick-and-mix selection. It's true that these were repeat broadcasts, and I am not normally a fan of having a focus on a single composer for the Lunchtime Concert (especially straight after CotW) but the quality of the music and the music-making justified it on this occasion.

It's good to see the LC back to what it does best, and I look forward to more broadcasts from the summer festivals of chamber music (and hopefully some live morning broadcasts too).

... Yes - this has been a complete joy.

Agreed I was fascinated by the incredibly slow pace taken by Benedetti et al in the Notturno on Wednesday. It worked, perhaps thanks to the skill of the performers.

Back to mix n’ match. If there are two concerts to be broadcast, why take the trouble to cut up and mix the them?

[Lento]

I wish Radio 3 would post texts and translations online for at least some of the vocal items: it would seem to be an ideal use of the website, especially in less familiar repertoire. Prima le parole, and all that.

Did anyone hear that lovely Haydenesque quartet yesterday by Hyacinthe Jadin, a composer I had never heard of before?

No, but I heard the David Quartet on the same programme, which I thought was really excellent.

I'll try to catch the Jadin later, since you recommend it.
Never heard of either of them before.
