YouTube: the thread for interesting video links

Probably only of interest to die hard British music fans.
Parry's 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin'.
Not easy to listen to due to poor sound,an earlier upload was even worse.
Some clever soul on here might know the performers (where's Roehre when you need him?),Pabmusic maybe ?

Here's one for you Stanley Bate 3 fans (who isn't ?).
Adrian Boult no less,conducting the CBSO on 12 July 1965

[teamsaint]

a great discovery indeed ER. thanks for that.

plenty of drama in this somewhat legendary ( it seems) recording.

it has never been performed at the proms.

Crikey Rob, thanks.... good stuff there, both shall be watched/heard when time permits. Shamefully, I have never heard of Stanley B let alone heard his 3rd.

And the video that cues up here after the Howells is fascinating too - Shostakovich 15 for chamber ensemble! Only had time to hear a few moments, but I like it!

Cal,an even better work,IMO,is the wonderful Viola Concerto.
Echoes of RVW,DSCH and the Walton concerto,I can't find a video but wholeheartedly recommend the cd

Hiya EdgeleyRob,

I rather enjoy the Bate viola concerto although I don’t place it as high as the Walton. Also on the disc RVW Romance and the WH Bell Rosa Mystica are both disappointing.

I agree Stan,not in the same league as the Walton but a fine concerto.

Here's another.
The 1966 premiere of the work that was commissioned for the opening of the Severn Bridge

Loads of rarely heard British music here

OK noted Rob re: Stan B. Viola concertos are my favourite kind of string concertos - and I've noticed that Dutton CD before, now you come to mention it.

And now for something completely different. Not on YouTube but should be accessible by everyone, I found it interesting to watch this 1 hour practice session by Jan Lisiecki

https://www.facebook.com/FondationLouisVuitton/videos/1211539165543714/

for his concert this evening at the auditorium in the Louis Vuitton Foundation - Frank Gehry's creation in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris

This is the programme

Oh yes

[EdgeleyRob]

Treat for neglected Brits fans and,I think,lovers of good Piano Sonatas.
The whole of Benjamin's Dale's fine (IMVHO) example has made it on to you tube
