    Superb programme today!

    Really enjoying this morning's programme, particularly the Scandinavian choral music - also looking forward to the Shostakovich 1 as I have not hear this for a very long time and the Naxos CD is a potential birthday present

    Yes - good programme! Great Bach Easter Oratorio to open with (though I didn't agree with AMcG about the Matthew Passion performance). I'm recording the Scandinavian choral section and the Shos 1 for lie-in listening tomorrow

    But isn't Schubert's D784 sonata a haunting piece... Wonderful playing. I have M J Pires playing it on CD but on re-listening her tempo is a little slow - the featured CD of the piece this morning was perfection, it sounded to me
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
