Underwhelmed...

[Anastasius]

Oh God, what a lousy website. Again!

i really cannot be a**ed to wade through click by click by click. Why can't they have that simple week-to-view page like they used to ?

[Barbirollians]

Saints above - what a thrilling season in prospect for once - Gerontius with VPO/Rattle for a start !

Click on a date and you will be taken to week to view

Underwhelmed...

I'm ecstatic. Rattle and the VPO playing Gerontius.

Usual reaction here: No instant elevation to a higher level of existence, but on careful scrutiny it's not hard to make a shortlist of 6 interesting ones (RVW Sancta Civitas - a rarity indeed, Mena/BBCPO Foulds & Turangalila, Salonen/Philharmonia Bartok & DSCH Orango, Kullervo, Ives 4, VPO/Elgar - probably completely unidiomatic but we shall see) and a few others. Enough for me.

I think it is the best season in ages - Nelsons in Beethoven 9 , Vanska conducting the last three Sibelius symphonies . Elder and the Halle in VW and Elgar, VPO. Rattle , Barenboim in the Triple Concerto Haitink in Schubert 9 with Pires In Mozart, Uchida playing the Schoenberg PC, the seasongs back on the last night with B Grosvenor and Jonas Kaufmann , Boston SO , St Petersburg PO , Andsnes playing all the Beethoven concertos ….

[Pulcinella]

Has anyone tried the app?
Might go that route in future if it gets good reports, but then again, if my local bookshop continues to sell me a copy of the printed guide as soon as it comes in I can look forward to annoying you all again next year!
Hope you all find something worth listening to, even if you don't get there in person.

One of the more ill conceived concerts seems to me to be Gergiev and the LSO with three different pianists traversing all five Prokofiev piano concertos in one concert ?
