Proms Chamber Music 3 (3.08.20) Khatia Buniatishvili piano recital

[Serial_Apologist]

Never mind Mrs Liebestraum, what about "for god's sakes!"?

(Though I am the very last person to comment.)

The god I was thinking of has lots of sakes.

[LMcD]

The god I was thinking of has lots of sakes.

Isn't the plural of 'sake' 'Saki'?

Like in Eden - sorry that was the lost consonants tread!

[gradus]

How was the actual performance? I think but may be mistaken that Khatia B. was regarded as a fine pianist much addicted to very fast speeds when she first broadcast to the mildly expressed displeasure of several of us including the late Peter Katin.

Would a lost consonant have a heavy or light tread?

Wine not?!

[cloughie]

Wine not?!

Oh yes it is!

[Serial_Apologist]

Oh yes it is!

OH NO IT Isn............... this is getting silly!

[johnb]

Behind you !!!!

[Old Grumpy]

Right you lot, get out of here, this is an illegal gathering!

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

There's always been some confusion over the title 'Liebesträum no. 3' as it's the third of three nocturnes, with nos. 1 & 2 not necessarily intended to be given the similar title.

No idea about this particular performance but she does have a habit of playing far too fast and loud (one of my friends would have called her "a thumper"). However, her performance of Liszt's transcription of Schubert's Ständchen (can't do umlauts here) on u-tube is absolutely gorgeous and shows she can play extremely delicately and with great feeling.

...Liszt's transcription of Schubert's Stanchen (can't do umlauts here)...

I think the umlaut has gone in search of the missing consonant.

Good point - I should have just quoted the Searle number, it would have been easier!!
