    BAL: Morike Lieder 27.11.10

    In the absence of a thread here about this morning's programme, I thought I'd start one to say how much I enjoyed this. Not a song specialist at all, I love a lot of Strauss, Schumann and Schubert songs - but Wolf was for some reason a closed book to me. This morning's BAL was a classic 'ear-opener' for me, and seemed to justify its rather longer time-allowance. I shall re-listen to it. It reminded me how much I have learnt from BAL over the 25 or so years I have listened to it... I found the range of expression in Wolf's music surprising, from the neurotically dramatic to the broadly comedic. Good stuff

    PS nice to find the familiar smileys here. Looks like it may be possible to add more...:p
    "...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..."

    PS Love the edit facility! What a relief. A typo and a grocer's apostrophe in my post could be excised instantly. Phew....

      Yes, it was a nice survey, not that I know much about them.

      I have played a couple of these before, Fussreise and Nimmersatte, but I didn't really have much to say about the performance at the time. I just accompanied and did what I was told. Some performers are like that ...

          Very glad you have joined the pioneers here, Cellini. It's never quite the same place when your amiable sense of humour is absent
