That Kaufman recital does look good, gurne!

[Pulcinella]

This Friday at the Barbican: BBCSO/Oramo play Shostakovich 10 and a new fiddle concerto by Michael Zev Gordon. Last time I heard this conductor and orchestra, in Nielsen 4, it was very exciting indeed.

On R3 on Monday evening.

RNCM, Manchester, Tue 14 Mar

Steven Osborne plays the last three Beethoven piano sonatas interspersed with Brahms op 117.

An interesting idea and characteristic of Osborne's programme planning.

I quite fancy this on March 23

( LSO /Altinoglu, in DSCH Cello Concerto 1 and complete Daphnis and Chloe) but there isn't much choice in cheaper end tickets, and the balcony seems to be closed. Anybody know if it is likely to get opened up for sale closer to the event?

It could be that the balcony is sold out. The few seats available in stalls and circle suggest this could be the case.

yep, silly me.
Made a lazy assumption there. Be interesting to know.

Stravinsky: The Firebird (complete Ballet)
Petrushka (1947 version)
The Rite of Spring
London Symphony Orchestra
Sir Simon Rattle

Looks like a cracker of an evening. All three played in one night! And it's on Radio 3 as well. Concert is repeated on Sunday, Sept 24.

The 1947 version, eh? Lightweights.

A quick "micro break "in Worcestershire today seems to have coincided with The Sixteen doing a Bach programme based around the Magnificat at Worcester Cathedral , so we are wandering along to have a listen.

How do people usually celebrate their 90th birthday?

Herbert Blomstedt (and the Gewandhaus) will do it with this:

28th and 29th September:
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (with Leonidas Kavakos)
Bruckner Symphony No 7

30th September:
Beethoven Triple Concerto (Kavakos and Gautier Capuçon)
Bruckner Symphony No 7

5th, 6th, 8th October
Brahms Violin Concerto (Kavakos)
Schubert Symphony No 8

12th and 13th October
Brahms Deutsches Requiem

And since 8 concerts in 16 days is too slow paced and leaves him energy to spare, he will take all this on the road and tour Europe, Tokyo and Taiwan for another 3 weeks.

He will be at the Barbican on October 22th with the Triple Concerto and Bruckner 7, btw.

Don't have any tickets yet, since they don't sell them until June, but I will get some if it kills me.

The Gewandhaus pulls out all the stops for next season (275th Birthday), moreover, there will be another 2 week tour to celebrate Nelsons official arrival at Leipzig. (continental Europe only, though) He is already very much involved, and the season shows more 20th/21st century works and more eastern European and Russian works than usual.

This Saturday we have tickets to the CSO and Mitsuko Uchida is scheduled to play the Beethoven Third PC, with Muti. Schumann 4th is also on the program
In 2 weeks Haitink is conducting. We don't have tickets and we have some other commitments but I am going to try to squeeze one in. Mahler Das Lied and the Schubert Unfinished.

[HighlandDougie]

While I'd love to be going to Chicago at the weekend (looks like a great CSO concert), I'm having to make do with a trip to London this evening. Arriving too late for "Meistersinger" (although our resident OQs don't much seem to like it) so RFH for the LPO in Gavin Bryars ("The Sinking of the Titanic"; "Jesus's Blood etc") and Steve Reich ("Music for Eighteen Musicians"). Should make for an interesting evening.

Balcony has now been opened for this one - currently basically empty so loads of the (relatively) cheap seats available.
