The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[antongould]

Who knows? According to the schedule, CBH did Friday instead of Petroc, and he's billed to be back tomorrow. Maybe just a long weekend at another festival somewhere???

Yes Tree Lawn getting soaked at a Festival has been mentioned ...... best just to enjoy it while one can ....

[Radio64]

Pet Rock down in Cornwall end of week I gather.

CBH possibly in some exotic location being all Mumsy. Bless.

[clive heath]

at least we were spared the 8.45 interactive mutual admiration gush.

Dared to switch on this morning after an earlier rise than d'habitude... and in the absence of the irritating lithper CBH.

Rewarded by Louise Farrenc's Piano Quintet No 1 in A minor, Op 30; Mvt III - Scherzo, Presto; then Leif Segerstam making a cracking job of Lemminkäinen’s Return

and especially

Erno Dohnanyi's Rhapsody in C, Op.11 No.3 - a real discovery, love it!

That's more like it ! And no buffoons on dodgy phone lines from Chipping Sodbury &c.

And now some good old British Light Music (Haydn Wood I think - I went to switch on the espresso machine ) which is always a giggle.

Rather good show so far!

Good to have you with us so early Rumpole - are you on picket duty?

A bit early to be painting fences?

[antongould]

A bit early to be painting fences?

Indeed but it's the South ferney and I think tomorrow Tree Lawn sets off further South to Cornwall or some such ....

One can never start on the pickett too early. Not even In the Midnight hour . ( sorry , bit contrived.)

Anybody reading this...I had an idea for a thread.
Great songs. One at a time. Any genre, any era, with ideally a Youtube link.

Never out of fashion, yer great song.
Thoughts?

Oh, and Breakfast sounds like the usual old stuff to me.

[antongould]

Good for it ts because you are from the South .....

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

:

That's the one with a couple of low Gs (off the bottom of most pianos). Such a richly romantic piece, especially the second subject, giving a whole new dimension to 3 against 2 rhythms. It's a piece I've started practising again quite recently, since attempting to play it on the only piano I've ever found with the extra notes:





(early July at Castle Howard)

Great, EA!

Is that really a rear-three-quarter view of the Alpine one at the Extended Pianoforte?

It is.

It is.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

It is.

Impressive library, Alpie - what are all those books? (They look late 18th/early 19th Century?)

(Lovely piano, too - the wood [walnut?] so much more pleasing to look at than the ubiquitous "plastic black" of yer average Yamaha.)
