The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[vinteuil]

I heard a piece of piano music that I once attempted to play. Couldn't remember title. NO SCHEDULE YET.

was it the Mozart K545 piano sonata in C "sonata facile"?

[antongould]

Helpfully, I feel, it says the playlist that's not there now will be subject to change but will be there in its final and glorious form by noon! I'm sure your attempt succeeded wonderfully!

Could have been but I was trying out the Fantasia and Sonata, K 475/457 years ago but couldn't manage all of it up to speed, and thought it was that I heard.

Playlists aren't always put up by noon of the next day, it sometimes takes longer. Sunday's Breakfast still had nothing at all last night, so just in case it doesn't appear, I had to trawl through the entire programme via iplayer, admittedly MH is much better than PT or SMP, much less superfluous waffle etc and the programme is thankfully shorter at weekends. I see the EC playlists are a mess with parts of them duplicated, but then nothing surprises me these days.

You dont need a playlist if youre looking for barnstorming American bombast - just listen between 08:00-08:30 weekday mornings, usually after the news..

Bloody Copland Rodeo crap again (08:32)!!!!

Not bloody Rodeo!

Actually Sibelius 5 might have a chance but not in this horrible performance they have on now, who's conducting? I switched off to avoid the Copland, and just put it back on

Tuned in to discover it was the Boston Symphony under Colin Davis (!) As it happens, I listened to Simon Rattle and the CBSO's recording on CFM last night - decidedly different from Ashkenazy, especially in the first movement which SR takes at a fair old lick.

I feel a limerick coming on...

Actually I'm glad that a 'blind' listen confirmed what I've thought for years, which is that No 5 is the Sibelius Symphony that Sir Colin doesn't 'get', for me. It's weird, but both his versions and a live performance left me cold and unconvinced in a piece that is one of my top favourites in the right hands (Vanska for instance)

[Suffolkcoastal]

I'm in agreement with you about Colin Davis in Sibelius 5 caliban, generally I've never been particularly impressed with Sir Colin's Sibelius interpretations.

Poor old Copland, the damage that Breakfast and some other R3 programmes are doing this very fine composer by endlessly playing the CFM favourites is very worrying. Lets have Inscape, the Short Symphony, Piano Quartet, Piano Fantasy, Piano Sonata and Nonet and the like thrown into the schedule to balance this out.

There was a beautiful interpretation of Copland's Clarinet Concerto on Afternoon on 3 a couple of days ago with Shabaka Hutchings, perhaps better known as a jazz player, as soloist. It quite changed my view of this work, which could easily be fitted into the Brekkers of EC sections.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

oh yes!

Brekkers with Robbo & Peaches!

just like test match special eh ..... discussions of claret and cakes and the music that was playing when the dog died .... we could all bake cakes AND SEND THEM IN!
