Whatever the qualities of another Mozart piano concerto or Beethoven symphony,
as that repertoire is represented well during daytime I prefer TtN for rare works like these:
(all TtN June 1 –still on iPlayer)
Palestrina
Sicut cervus (p.1581)
Gloriosi principes terrae (p.1581)
Ad te levavi oculos meos (p.1581)
Fundamenta ejus (p.1581)
Anon (Italian c.1400):
Istampitta 'Belicha'
Dufay
Rondeau 'Donnés l'assault' (1460s)

That old stuff? Palestrina and Dufay! Radio 3 churns this stuff stuff day after day. No you're quite right. It's true, you NEVER hear a Beethoven Symphony or Mozart Piano Concertos during the daytime. It's such a welcome change to hear these marvellous old warhorses on Through the Night. I only ever want to hear music I've never heard before , and these pieces are just perfect.

Originally posted by Bryn View PostWell it is played from a hard drive, but I first heard some of the performances broadcast on TtN in their CD releases. The oft repeated Octaphorus performance of an arrangement of Beethoven's Wellingtons Sieg oder die Schlacht bei Vittoria is a one such.
My point is also that TTN is shorn of all presenter-hubris: the music is centre stage, all the artists are credited whenever possible and the announcements and back announcements (thanks, Susan, John and Jonathan) are gently scholarly, informative and appropriately brief.
Bryn, are you saying that these (e.g. Wellingtons Sieg) are live recordings of performances that were separately recorded for CD - or that some are the same? I'm curious!
