Evidently he (Richter) was asked to curate a 'mixed tape' of others' music following a concert including his 'reworking' of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Moi, I like that piece, having heard it first by chance live in Southampton.Originally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View Post
All this in celebration of Earth Day.
The mixed tape enlivened the stirring of the risotto, which required fairly close attention.
In the concert, I enjoyed Richter's On the Nature of Daylight (Orchestra: Chineke! Orchestra with Max Richter)
I take this opportunity to record for posterity having invented the 'mixed tape' in 1965, alternating Gabrielli and Thelonius Monk on a reel-to-reel tape, or 'tape' as we called it.Comment

If 'opinions' are sought:
The whole concept of "mixtapes" is totally unappealing to me. And someone else's 'curated' mixtape seems a very odd use of radio. My own curated mixtape of chosen musical works contains necessarily the contexts of my own knowledge and experience - even if very limited. I wouldn't listen to any radio programme that was just an ambient "river of music" either, and won't stay awake at night wondering what a gloriously enriching musical journey I'm missing. This is for other people to enjoy.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

Very dull - 'Night Tracks' is FAR, far better, and a R3 'own label' production.Comment
