Anyone here have any information on composer Nicola Gilbert, whose Portrait is the first item on tonight's programme? I can't find any, anywhere, and am wondering if this is yet another of Radio Times's misprints.

Radio 3's website refers to 'Gilbert', though for some reason it isn't possible to put the playlist on the website even though it's available in Radio Times.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post

Bless, my soul! Could have sworn I clicked the See More link. Well, that confirms it (even if they spelled Nicolas as Nicholas).Originally posted by subcontrabass View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

Looking forward to tomorrow's Through the Night, I think the Tallis Scholars concert is from 15/11/2019 (PDF link for Tage Alter Musik in Herne).
Looks to be a repeat of the 22/9/2020 TTN, which I must have missed.Sacred Vocal Polyphony before and after the Council of Trent
Peter Phillips and the Tallis Scholars perform music by Palestrina, Josquin and de Kerle at Herne Early Music Days festival in Germany. Presented by Catriona Young.
First heard it on Ö1's excellent "Alte Musik - neu interpretiert" - but a tad longer and in a slightly different order(?), starting with the Ruffo.Last edited by AuntDaisy; 22-05-21, 08:23.Comment

The schedulers have managed to assemble eight composers with names ending in -ov onto tonight's list. Should be an interesting night!

I was intrigued to learn that Lars-Erik Larsson composed no less than 12 concertinos, one of which was featured on TTN an hour or so ago - I shall seek out others. I'm already familiar with his Pastoral Suite and Winter's Tale. Utterly delightful - Nordic Blanc!Comment

Thanks, for the Lars-Erik Larsson pointer - new to me & listening / enjoying now.
Why does the short piano motif ~6 mins in sound familiar (is it Brahms)?
I loved your "Nordic Blanc" phrase - we also missed Svendsen's symphony no 2 because of "Happy Harmonies with Laufey".Comment
