I deliberately gave Breakfast a miss today. I turned on just after 9 to hear an excerpt from Beethoven's third timpani concerto
conducted by Jordi Savall.

ff If I remember correctly you mentioned Alvar Lidell on a recent thread - TS could usefully spend time listening and learning about speed and diction from his style of delivery!Originally posted by french frank View PostComment

Footnote to Alvar Lidell whose tones I can hear in my head to this day. I heard him as a performer in one of those very eclectic London Sinfonietta Proms in 1969. He was the speaker in John Tavener's The Whale. Programme also included Wayne Sleep dancing Starvinsky's Renard.Originally posted by cloughie View PostComment

"...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..."

Blackburn chirping at the break of day?Originally posted by LMcD View Post
I watched a programme where Brian Turner goes back to ‘celebrities’ roots’ and Blackburn was the subject and he came over as quite a loner. I have never really warmed to him and for someone who has been involved with , and probably made a lot of money from, music - he never seems to share a love of it in the way that eg Johnnie Walker, or his predecessor on Sounds of the 60s, Brian Matthew!Last edited by cloughie; 22-08-20, 12:12.Comment

The differences between lockdown and 'normal' schedules are really making themselves felt now, sadly. Two trails and one set of news headlines 'fitted' into a half hour segment do little to facilitate a satisfactory programme of music items (regardless of one's view of 'snippets' etc) which then have to be shoehorned between such intrusions, and the presenter talk.Comment
