R3 In Concert 27-2-18

[oddoneout]

Does anyone know what the music will be for this? 'Presenting musical events from all over the world' is more than a little vague for a two and a half hour slot, but is all that the schedule list is admitting to at the moment.

[vinteuil]

according to the Radio Times -

Jeremy Denk (piano), Britten Sinfonia


Byrd/Gesualdo/Monteverdi, arr Denk Motets
Stravinsky Concerto for piano and wind instruments
Nancarrow Piano solos (selection)

8:15 interval

8:35
Milhaud la Création du Monde
Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue (original jazz band version)

Many thanks, vinty.

odd1 is quite right - the listing on the Beeb website is singularly restricted in usefulness!

Well I suppose at least it isn't wrong.....
And thanks to vinteuil from me too. Ironically I stopped having the RT some time ago because the R3 info was so inadequate and I didn't need any of the other 'magazine' stuff, so waste of money.
Does seem a bit strange for the online info to be missing if it's a recording concert rather than a genuine live one.

Maybe you can assume it's the same as in RT where it seems it's only live if they say it is.

There's always the online Radio Times listings. Looks like Radio 3 doesn't even have the staff to keep its website up to date

The gap was filled at lunchtime.
I haven't gone down the online RT route because it means signing up to a company that I have had problems with in the past about use of my personal details.

Does it? I've just checked it on my laptop and didn't have to sign in, register or anything. I don't remember having to do it on my desktop either. I don't find it as convenient as the R3 website, but if there's a dearth of information there, that's not much use.

I've just tried again and you're right, so I'll bear that in mind. I could only get at the general radio page because I hadn't noticed the need to do one of those blink and you miss it sidestep manoeuvres to get at listings - I'm afraid I'm not too patient with things that don't go direct - and so assumed lack of listings was due to lack of sign in. Another useful bit of information for future reference.
