Proms 2015 rumours

[Pulcinella]

I meant the title of the piece you're already looking forward to.

Doh!

Sibelius, Belwassizface's feast ( I ain't spelling that!).

[Pulcinella]

Doh!

Sibelius, Nebudkannezzar

That's not what the programme calls it!

[Pulcinella]

Aha!
You edited after I quoted.
Programme gives same title for both pieces, the first being subtitled suite.

I'd better quit before the embargo police come round.
Well done!

I got Belshazzer confused with his dad for a moment and can spell neither!
Thanks (and it was fun!).

Another teaser, but I'm not replying any more tonight.
Late and tiring night last night as I had to step in and accompany choir practice at very short notice: enough accidentals in Elgar's The Music Makers to daunt any sightreader! I need a good night's sleep.

One of the RVW pieces is starred as a first performance at a BBC Henry Wood Promenade Concert, as they continue to call them on the Index of works page, if not in other publicity.

writing on the wall?

I wonder who the soloist will be.

I was at the 2012 Prom performance, part of an interesting programme but the vibrato of the soloist was staggering, it sounded in fact like the sad wreckage of a voice, and marred the Walton and the Ireland. But the choral and orchestral sections were wonderful (stunning RVW and the final section of the Ireland - after the soloist had shut up - a revelation)

I think Roderick Williams would be terrific in Belshazzar.

Very fine Shostakovich 5, Mahler 5 and Walton 1 on BBC MM discs.

an underrated conductor that everybody round here rates, then?

talking about the wider world innit

[Pulcinella]

And since it's a NOT, I can tell you that Otaka is not conducting the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra at this year's Proms.

Wicked, aren't I?
