Terrific!

The Ligeti came over very well too, build up in the harmonies beautifully captured I thought.

KK did a show in R3 at the weekend, with some interesting choices of music including some Terterian.

Be good to hear yet more central asian music from him and the BSO.

Just thought that the final moments came across as too rushed. My preference is to get to Heaven a little less quickly! Other than that slight caveat a fine performance overall.

Having learned, by chance, of this concert, via (of all things) a comment on In Tune, a programme I usually give a miss to these days) circa 6 pm, I found there were a handful of seats left and very nearly grabbed one of them online and jumped in the car. But instead decided to listen at home. As my neighbur objects to my having music too loud, I couldn't give R3 and the BSO the full fff Bereite Dich zu leben treatment. So I was slightly underwhelmed, but that may have been my responsibility rather than Karabits's. A shame that they are giving only the one performance, as I would have liked to hear it.

I would like to go hear him conduct some Russian music, but such offerings under his baton are not as common in the BSO rep as I would have liked.

No, sadly not KB. As you say, a pity they didn’t tour this one.

I wish KK would / could be as a bit braver with his programming of Russian / Central Asian music as I think he would in truth like to be much more adventurous, but, money and caution talks I expect.

I recently received their Portsmouth Concert Programme and very little attacted me. I also cannot fathom who would think calling a concert (for example) Backward Glimpses, requiring another click to find out the works performed and their composers, is attractive to anyone with a microgram of musical knowledge.
