Haas and Ligeti being trailed

It's good to hear a Hear and Now prog being trailed quite widely on R3:

Don't know Haas's In Vain, but am looking forward to Ligeti's Violin Concerto.

Thanks for flagging that , Ards.

Those lucky enough to be present at the Haas concert tell of great things.
I was present at the Ligeti concert, so er, that will be intereresting.
A shame they couldn't have found room for " San Fransisco Polyphony" from the same concert, which was really excellent. Perhaps it will turn up in another chunk.

I watched Rattle do In Vain live on the Berlin DCH, complete with the Hall going into pitch darkness and back to bright light. An experience definitely worth having, if only the once... there is a CD of another performance with Klangforum Wien and Cambreling on Kairos.

Haas's piece seems to have become a bit of a cult, but don't let that put you off...

I think it is important to be clear on our Haas ! This being of course GF Haas and not the marvellous Pavel Haas of the superb quartets who was murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz .

Indeed. Nor the Haas who edited the Bruckner symphonies.

Agreed - watching it on the telly is something one might not need to repeat too often, but the experience of being at the actual concert, well that's another matter altogether

Nor Hans & Lotte Hass, to be seen on telly each week in the 1960s it appeared, often in a 'life or death struggle' with a ... haddock

Nor Bernt Haas, ex Swiss international and West Brom footballer,known as Vindaloo (work it out for yourselves).

Some other Hass then...

Nor Hans & Lotte Hass,

...didn't know his Hans from his Haas.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

... no Ashley Wass, either.

He might make a good choice for special subject on Mastermind......

or maybe not.

- took me a moment, that!

Anyway, which "Ligeti" is it? Andras, Lucas or 't'other one?

Oh Gawd....
