I didn't hear the introduction by Sarah Walker so was rather puzzled just now to be listening to what sounded like a re-working of Stanford's 'The Bluebird'. Apparently it was 'The Drowned Lovers' by Judith Bingham. Can anyone explain to this higgorant soul why the two should sound so similar; the only connection would seem to be a lake.

This is all that I could find. https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/d...5_GBLLH1690414Originally posted by oddoneout View Post
Didn't hear it on Sunday (as Sarah Walker's Sunday Morning is not my cup of tea), but I remember being favourably impressed by it when I heard it some months ago.Comment

Thank you for that. I only did a cursory search and managed to miss that reference. I realise now that I have heard it before and probably also heard the bit about it being a companion piece for Bluebird; the similarities evidently didn't register as strongly then. Admittedly I was only half concentrating this time round and perhaps that's why the 'recognisable' bits stood out - the brain filtering picking the familiar.Originally posted by underthecountertenor View PostComment

I see that the TV and Radio supplement with my weekend paper has decided that R3 output today starts at 12 midday. I am telling myself the reason is lack of space caused by the mentioning of the Sonic Memorials.....
But other reasons had crossed my mind!Comment

My paper has fewer details than usual for certain programmes, but manages to find space for all the Sonic Memorials.Originally posted by oddoneout View PostComment

Elsewhere there is a debate, albeit one-sided, about the merits of this “show” intermingled with a wish to keep discussions focused and not all on the Breakfast thread ....... so I give you Sir James MacMillan, George Gershwin and Kate Rusby .....Comment

Another good selection from SW this morning.Comment

Yes. I particularly liked the Tony Woods Project - ‘The North Wind Doth Blow’, sort of folky jazz.Originally posted by cloughie View Post

Thanks for posting this! Tony is a member of the SW London-based Way Out West collective: his wife Nette Robinson is a fine singer, who also arranges and plays sax in some of the local outfits. I think they pronounce her name "Netty" - not being sure can cause a few social faux passes!Originally posted by LezLee View PostComment

I thought Sunday’s programme was very good ..... but then I have always been Frank Sinatra .......Comment

I just had to check this, because on Sunday I thought my ears were deceiving me, but no: last Sunday they played just the last five minutes of Dvorak's Otello overture.
Sheer vandalism! Do the people who produce and present this programme care nothing at all for music?Comment
