Ysaye solo sonatas, individual disks are often played and recommended but a comparison would be interesting. Great works and there is plenty of room for interpretation.

Asrael was done in April 2010. Can we just let it go now?

Has any work by Frank Martin ever featured on BAL? I think he is very neglected by R3, I'm not sure I can remember ever hearing a piece by him on the radio.Comment

How about A Summer's Tale and Ripening - have they been on a BAL ?Comment

The BAL list from 1999 to 2014 can be found here: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/radio3/cl...ew/bal1214.pdfOriginally posted by french frank View PostI thought it seemed like a short list. I suppose they've only indexed recent ones and the older ones still have to be accessed by date of broadcast. Anyone got a bit of spare time?

It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

The Mass for Double Choir was done 10 years ago. I would certainly welcome a BAL on one of his other works, say the Petite Symphonie Concertante. I don't suppose there's enough recordings of the 'Jedermann' monologues.Originally posted by umslopogaas View PostDel boy: “Get in, get out, don’t look back. That’s my motto!”Comment

My 2010 Penguin Guide actually lists four different Jedermann Monologues, more than the Petite Syymphonie Concertante, which I would have thought his most popular work. Not sure how many of those Jedermann recordings is still available though, or whether four would be considered sufficient for a BAL.Comment

May I second this suggestion wholeheartedly? I recently a acquired the new recording by Alina Ibragimova* which I simply cannot stop playing. However, I have also heard great things about the recording by Thomas Zehetmair. I think I may have to acquire that also.Originally posted by mikealdren View Post
(*Incidentally, I celebrated by 40th birthday last weekend seeing and hearing Alina Ibragimova and Natalie Clein IN THE SAME ROOM performing a Shostokovich trio - certainly the most thrilling moment of my (admittedly relatively short) concert going career to date.)Comment

And I have a fine (signed
) recording of the Ysaÿe Op.27 by Josef Špaček, first violin of the Czech Phil, one of a couple of solo discs I picked up after he'd played the Mendelssohn with the CPO. On the (Czech) Artesmon label, AS718-2.
The other solo disc was of Heinrich Ernst, inc. the terrifying variations on Last Rose of Summer (Naxos 8.572575)
Lucky you - I was supposed to see Natalie playing solo Bach on 7 June, only she cancelled for health reasons...Comment

Building a Library is an almost impossible task for reviewers, but somebody has to do it.
Which works would forumites feel most able to tackle, if, unlikely as it may seem, the BBC were to ask you to prepare a BaL programme in two week's time.
I'd probably go for:
Elgar 1, The Kingdom & The Apostles
VW 1 & 5
Mozart 40
and maybe a Strauß tone poem
Other works might take a little longer.Last edited by Eine Alpensinfonie; 02-11-15, 11:58.Comment
