      There was an exceptional performance of LvB 3 from the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra under Davin Zinman last night. Beautiful playing, with lots of detail brought out. I chanced on it halfway through the first movement and was intrigued to know who the performers were: quite a surprise to hear the back-announcement. Thoroughly recommended.

        It will be interesting to compare it with David Zinman's recording with the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich.

          24/4/20 : 02:42 AM
          Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764)
          L'Apotheose de la Danse - orchestral suite of dance music by Rameau
          Les Musiciens du Louvre, Marc Minkowski (conductor)

          A wonderful 40 minutes of Rameau dances, immaculately and energetically played by Les Musiciens du Louvre at the 2003 Proms. Life-affirming stuff!

          (PS I thought we had a thread for Early Music on TTN but I can't find it.)

            We've just been wished a Happy New Year by Jonathan Swain (0230 17 June). Bit of recycling going on....

              This mornings programme included a Dowland lute song, played by Thomas Dunford, and sung by Thomas Dunford.
              I wish more lutenists would do this - it seems to produce much better dynamics than when a separate singer is involved.

                I thought Dunford’s whole ‘set’ was marvellous.... well, the latter part which I heard, and the start which I listened to today having taken the unusual step of downloading a TTN just so I can have repeat access to it over the next month (including abroad)

                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  As life returns to normal (no I'm not about to go off on a Covid 19 related theme...) I'm driving about more and appreciating T.T.N. again. What I most like about it is the lack of "background" chatter, information about forthcoming programmes and other "chatty" stuff. I fully appreciate I'm something of a dinosaur, but being just old enough to remember the presentational style of the Third Programme and early Radio 3, that's what I want!

                    Tchaikovsky: Suite no 4 in G major, Op 61 "Mozartiana"
                    On what Mozart original is the variations movement based?

                          This concert, a mix of the old and new - Bach and Loher, worked for me, probably because Sylvan Loher is quite melodic in his compositions.

                          Don't know a great deal about current vocal work composers, but he seems to fit in the MacMillan/ Taverner/Rutter league. He might be of interest to New Music Show adherents.

                            "MacMillan/ Taverner/Rutter league"/"New Music Show adherents". Not an association I would expect to encounter that often.

                              Sylvan Loher is a young Swiss composer and poet who turned to music when he first encountered Grieg as a child. He studied music in Basle. That he now lives in Oslo may suggest that Grieg's lyricism still informs his compositions.

                                We suddenly seem to be having a new presenter every week, as opposed to, previously, one for three weeks.
