Through the Night

[Serial_Apologist]

Some very inventive playlists in the FIRST section of TTN this week .....including modern/ contemporary .....let's hope they keep it up......

Yes indeed!

I will be listening again to last night's Mahler 3 from La Scala and Zubin Mehta. Given the time of the broadcast, I could not listen at the volume it calls for. What I did hear impressed me greatly. The night bird calls' hinaufziehen – wie ein Naturlaut are executed most evocatively and the slow build towards the final peroration of the sixth movement is beautifully handled. Well worth catching.

My least liked Mahler symphony, but what I heard of this performance redressed matters to an extent.

This is a delight: really puts a smile on my face.

Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764)
L'Apotheose de la Danse - orchestral suite of dance music by Rameau
Les Musiciens du Louvre, Marc Minkowski (conductor)

It is the 2003 Proms performance of Minkowski's selection of Rameau dances, which was broadcast again in this year's repeats season.

There was a commercial recording but as far as I can tell, it's been deleted.

Lascia la spina, from Handel's Il Trionfo
Singer: Julia Lezhneva. Orchestra: Wroclaw Baroque Orchestra. Conductor: Giovanni Antonini.

This singer goes really high, and quiet and smooth at the same time. Quite an achievement.

... it's back!

Turning on at 5:20 this morning anticipating the awfulness of Tearjerker, Piano Flow, or Happy Harmonies and ready to switch to the World Service - Mozart (attrib) wind music, and then Catriona Young introducing Vivaldi. And the website informing me that I was listening to Through the Night ..

Is this a result of the demise of the Dook? Or a silent admission of a misjudgment by R3 management?

BBC Radio 3 schedule for next Saturday shows 'Piano Flow' at 0500 and 'Happy Harmonies' at 0600 - sorry! Volume 3 of 'HH' will feature gentle jazz.

Mmmm. Not nice.

This morning about 6 a.m.::
Ernst Mielck String Quintet in F major, Op 3

The kind of thing that Through the Night is really good at. For me an unknown composer, but really inventive and with novel forms of logic. Apparently he died at the age of 22, or else.....

Or else you'll do what???

[LMcD]

Or else you'll do what???

If people die at 22 there's usually a catch.

[Quarky]

Or else you'll do what???

....Or else I would have already listened to a very fine body of work rivalling the "great" composers.

But then again familiarity might breed.....

On this morning's 'Breakfast' Petroc mentioned that in the latest Radio Times there's an article by John Shea about TTN to mark its 25th anniversary.

i like John's presentation on TTN: an admirable dry wit, that sometimes makes me laugh out loud - in the wee small hours, no small achievement.

IIRC from Humphrey Carpenter's book, the founding father was Donald Macleod.
