In Tune

Nice to hear IS on In Tune this afternoon - as anarchic and off the wall as ever. He's on for the next two programmes as well.

He was indeed ......always IMHO a pleasant change.

The interviewer/presenter Suzy Klein just asked Sir Peter Maxwell Davies what his ‘signature dish’ is? I would have though that asking him more questions about music would have been more appropriate.

What is a signature dish?

I've just looked it up. Why should a composer have a signature dish? (Clearly, I have missed the context: I suppose he said he liked cooking. Swan.)

In Max's case I would have though swan terrine.

"I've done it before and it really is delicious ... the meat is very dark and rich. It's a bit like pheasant with a hint of venison as well."

Thanks, lads - I had updated my first effort!

... also Winter Lamb with a Glass of Shiraz.

Less sure about his Dove, Star Folded with a Glass of Frontignac....


The Lagavulin of Riberac might be intriguing

Verity presenting In Tune of all things on Monday ( but just for the one day )

Thought this worth cross-posting.

Someone at the Beeb is playing Secret Santa to the Forum.

So we'll get "Ho Ho Ho" instead of "Er Um Ah"?

InTune - Jeremy Denk

I listened to the InTune highlights podcast featuring American pianist Jeremy Denk and was duly impressed, such that I wanted to investigate some of his recorded works.
Quick Google search however threw up the Telegraph's review of his London concert which was apparently 'unsatisfying'.

Anyone familiar with him and have any suggestions re. purchases/listening?

I denk you all in advance.

Bach: "Goldberg" Variations.

Never thought I'd want another piano version - then this unmissable version came along.
