I never thought of that! Would be a travesty if it didn't....

Well - does anybody know whether it did win? For some reason, yesterday's Record Review is not (yet) available on the iPlayer. (Please send a PM if you don't want to spoil the surprise for others!)Comment

I try to introduce these BaL threads a week before the programme is broadcast. That way, we get interesting comments both before and after the broadcasts.Originally posted by LMcD View PostMy mistake!

I've tried with this piece a few times over the years, being a lover of piano concertos and a fan of much of Britten's work. But it's never 'clicked' with me. I have the Osborne/Volkov recording - but that's because it includes BB's Diversions for left hand and orchestra which I absolutely love to bits, and of which I have all the available recordings I think.
Definitely a BAL to hear, for me (despite the rattling of coffee cups and spoons and absence of definite article at Sage...
)

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Oh Gawd, yes, all that talk of free coffee and cake on offer.Comment

Time to prepare for this one.
It would be interesting NOT to have Richter/Britten as the final choice.Comment

I like Osborne's a lot, and Shelley, too.Originally posted by Caliban View PostI've tried with this piece a few times over the years, being a lover of piano concertos and a fan of much of Britten's work.

Have you heard that one? I had hoped a certain young man would have recorded the concerto by now........

Would it ? I felt that Helen Walkace had to come up with s tenuous reason about the age of the recording to choose Truls Mork's version of the Elgar Cello Concerto over du Pre the other year .Originally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View PostComment

Interesting, yes, but not necessarily right, as your example indicates.Originally posted by Barbirollians View PostComment

OOOH, I did like the mention of BB's "characteristic English self-depredation"
I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!Comment
