Relocation from SE4 to SP2 means it will be very much pick and choose here. Pre-Covid, attendance was limited by how many rehearsals got in the way of gigs; that's not so much a problem now, as our current outfit has one prom, but that will mean serious travelling costs. At least it's a substantial work.

Oh - almost missed out Dausgaard's Nielsen.

Haha - just pipped Andrew at the post!It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Andrew, thanks for your own listing. On the BBC site do you mean this page? I can't see a "Composers & Works" link there, I'm afraid.

But at only just over an hour's worth of music (never mind the quality.....) I certainly wouldn't make the trip.
There's an ideal place to put a Birtwistle piece in as a starter. I'd suggest Ritual Fragment."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink

Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

Not sure if Index of Works (with A-Z of composers) and Index of Performers are supposed to be links, but they aren't at at the moment. Search on the word Index to go to them.Last edited by french frank; 27-04-22, 09:50.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

However, the link which I posted should take you straight there.

Originally posted by Bert Coules View PostAndrew, thanks for that. But I obviously didn't make my original question clear: I was asking if there was an alphabetical composer guide specifically to this year's season, not to the entire archive.
