BaL 22.10.22 - Mozart: Symphony no. 31 in D "Paris" (K.297)????

Presumably anything composed before 1800 doesn't count as a "proper" symphony.

[Ein Heldenleben]

Most BALS get 8 pages of posts which is a lot more than most live R3 concerts.. Interestingly and almost inexplicably two BALS seem to top the list in terms of post pages Ein Alpensinfonie (by a massive margin) and Ein Heldenleben
Also in there La Mer - a thread that in its analysis of performing and recording styles is almost worthy of publication,

18th century period stuff.. doesnt count

Easily explained - 3 superb works - I never tire of them. Do you know any serious music person who does not like ‘La Mer’?

Maybe only the Tchaikovsky PC was a duff choice, having being covered fairly recently.

I am looking forward to the Grieg Violin Sonata edition next Saturday, a nice fresh choice.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I think that BaL's decline is reflected in the paucity of interest now shown in the threads on this forum.
I don't think that Alpie's even started one off for next week.

Don't worry about that. I rarely forget!

And Strauss's Don Juan is coming up, which will be one hell of a list.

It wasn't a criticism.

I don't think anyone will believe how many versions I have of this!

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I didn’t think it was for a moment.

There is a good supply of top notch recordings to choose from!

Vocal and Chamber music but the nearest to a non period instrument symphonic work is Lark Ascending. Can see the preferences of senior producers at Record Review. Now its musicians reviewing, Journalists and Musical historians being elbowed out. Just an 18th century sysmphony isnt good enough

Beethoven’s 9th coming up on Xmas Eve. Unfortunately with Tom Service.

Eek, decidedly not an Ode to Joy with him in the chair!
