This may well be worth an Easter watch, JEG being an articulate guide - plus, via the 'redbutton', complete performances of featured works afterwards...

Jeggers? Has he achieved official National Treasure™ status yet? Or am I confusing him with Jagger?Originally posted by Caliban View PostIt loved to happen. -- Marcus Aurelius -
Thanks Cali, I've ringed it round in RT for tomorrow.
Just been 'listening' to Rattle and the Berlin Phil from Singapore tonight on BBC4. I know I have tinnitus but the opening of Mahler sym 1 was inaudible for about 15 minutes. It's not that quiet, was it a bad transmission.?Comment

surprised that BBC2 has time for music in its busy cookery schedule - something of a JEG 'weekend' what with the marathon on Monday
even been persuaded to do one of those 'Five Minutes' interviews

This was posted on the J.S. Bach thread on Composer of the Week Board by Calum yesterday but I think it could join here.

I shall watch this, but one does wonder how much supposition the programme infers into JS Bach The Character in the light of scant evidence.Comment

Ooops, sorry Caliban...I don't always have time to look at all the threads, so I just thought I'd post a reminder in case. Anyway, I will be watching with interest!Originally posted by Caliban View Post

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this programme...JEG came across very well, the story-telling, pictures and performances were first rate, in my opinion.Comment

Great programme I think. No talking down, no attempt to do it all - just an illuminating focus on a number of facets of this phenomenon that was Bach.
If there's one thing that the R3 baroque-fest has brought back home to me (hardly a revelation, but confirmed by further exposure to the rest) is that Bach is in a totally different league from everyone else (at the time, and since as far as I am concerned. His music for choir and instruments is about as good as it gets, full stop.)
Bear in mind that on the red button now until 2.25am (!... presumably on a loop) are full versions of some of the performances in the documentary. (On Freeview, it's also available by selecting Channel 301 - which is the channel to which the redbutton shortcuts I think)"...the isle is full of noises,
