Louise Farrenc (1804-1875): 2 – 6 November

[doversoul1]

A French composer who admired Haydn and composed a quintet that sounded like Shubert’s. I am interested in hearing more of her music.

But why are the details all duplicated on the play list?.

Because it is a repeat ?

Anyway,the quintet sounded fine and more than somewhat like Schubert.

( there is an existing thread from the original programmes that I was going to revive, but didn't actually bother to , so thanks for the relaunch DS !)

I thought Donald Macleod said something about ‘repeat’ which he wouldn’t have said if the programme were a repeat, surely? This is from 2013.

Also, this seems to be new;

For the first time, especially for Composer of the Week, soprano Ruby Hughes, a former Radio 3 New Generation Artist and pianist Anna Tilbrook have recorded four of Farrenc's songs. The BBC Singers, under conductor David Hill have recorded the only two choral settings known to exist. There's an opportunity to hear these vocal rarities spread across the week.

Whatever it is or isn’t, the compose is new to me, so that’s all that matters

Thank you, Lat‼

There ‘s just so much music out there that I don’t know, have never heard of that it makes me feel like burying myself in bed and just listen to Vivaldi and forget the rest

Recent Composer of the Week has been excellent from this point (introducing me to new composers).
