In Tune

[Frances_iom]

all as to nought

did you expect better of RW - however Tuesday's is advertised as

19:00–20:00
Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert
Live from the Wigmore Hall, London, Haydn, Beethoven
1/2. Stephen Hough and the Takacs Quartet perform music by Haydn and Beethoven.


so I presume RW is having a late lunch that evening ?

[Flosshilde]

& there aren't any daily schedules after Tuesday.

[french frank]

only one live concert at 7.30pm, the rest at 7pm

Actually, which week is this? On the schedule I'm looking at for this week, it's the other way round - four at 7.30 and one at 7pm. Next week the first three are at 7pm and Thursday and Friday aren't up yet.

[Flosshilde]

My mistake - Wednesday was showing earlier. It's quite late not to be showing half of next week's schedule, surely?

Anyway, the OP should be happy on Monday, Teusday & Wednesday - an extra half hour of In Tune.

Radio Times has
for Thu 2 June 7.30 live in concert Uchida/LSO at the Barbican
for Fri 3 June 7.00 live in concert BBCNOW from St David's

apologies I was getting my (possibly inaccurate) information from next week's Radio Times which says that all but Thursday's live concerts are at 7pm with In Tune on Thursday lasting 3 hours.

but all possibly inaccurate

sorry, cross-posting

how long does the Brahms Violin Concerto usually last? It has 1 hour 45 mins. alloted to it on Friday 3rd

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

well speaking as a jazbo i am sorry to see the misery of schedule fixes being more widely spread but as Lenin said

Goodness, that's longer even than most Mahler symphonies!

Oh, I love animated .gifs too! This evening, I lifted a little footage from a Jon Jacob Youtube video and made you all an animated .gif that works with most "suggestion" threads around here...

Ok, what joker decided to follow "Mars" with "The Lark Ascending" last night? Could there be a less appropriate sequitur?

[David Underdown]

Wasn't "Lark" in part inspired by RVW's wartime experience of hearing a lark singing above No Man's Land?

Then RVW must have been prescient regarding the carnage at the Western Front.
It's the Pastoral Symphony you mean here, David.

According to the wiki article he composed the original version while watching troopships cross the channel (and was almost arrested as a spy as a result), while the orchestral version is postwar- though of course Meredith's poem is earlier

The Lark Ascending was completed in full score in 1914 , even before the outbreak of the Great War.
In 1920 the full score was revised, i.e. mainly shortened. None of the cuts however is important, if you are interested, see Michael Kennedy's Appendix I List of works, in his The Works of Ralph Vaughan Williams (the 1964 OUP edition that is) p.477/478.
