Richard Tarleton
For anyone interested, there's a long interview with David Pickard by Richard Morrison in today's Times (and yes you'll have to actually buy the Times to read it, unless you have already or are a subscriber ). He is clearly exasperated by aspects of the RAH.

Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View PostMany thanks for the statistics, Demetrius - I was going to do something similar this morning, but you've saved me the effort
Brilliant!!! I missed that - when is it on?
Beggur! I saw that the first time I looked through the programme, but missed on the "Brit-specific" reading.
Thou fib'st, sir! (It's 8 lines from the bottom, between Kate Whitley and Cheryl Frances-Hoad )
Interesting that the "British" number of hours, works, and composers has fallen so noticeably since Roger Wright left
Still, it's a good season. if future seasons shift the focus now and then, all is well. Has anyone seen the Saturday Matinees, though? Seems like they have been discontinued in favor of the Proms @ concerts.
Edit: and yes, the composers list is full of omissions; Erkki-Sven Tüür is missing as well, but is part of Prom 26 (Paavo Järvi. The Järvis seem to champion this composer)Last edited by Demetrius; 21-04-17, 14:01.
