Afternoon Concert, British music

[jayne lee wilson]

Now there’s someone who could follow Rattle at the LSO, after all he did a great job following him in Birmingham!

But was his CBSO recorded catalogue all that special, really, C? "Good" rather than outstanding, I would say.... CBSO concertgoers may have another view....

I felt Stockholm was always a better match, with a wonderful Nielsen cycle and adventurous repertoire like Anders Hillborg...similarly with his BBCSO concerts in The Proms, Scandinavian and New Music........

Terrific Elgar 1 this afternoon from the Royal Stockholm Phil under Sakari Oramo (always superlative in Elgar)

I've just listened to this - a very fine performance - spacious, majestic, 'noble' but never lacking in forward momentum or sense of structure. I thought the quieter passages sounded particularly beautiful. A Swedish orchestra, a Finnish conductor, a German venue - proof (it were needed) that Elgar travels well!
