One of the changes to the CFM schedule is the late evening programme, no longer 'Evening Concert' but now 'The Full Works' presented by John Brunning (musician, including a spell with Mungo Jerry!)
Brunningh's playlists have seen a promising start to his programme. Last night I caught works by Bartok, while tonight's fairy tale theme features several works I've never heard:
Humperdinck: Hansel & Gretel – Overture
Sir Colin Davis conducts the Staatskapelle Dresden
Suk: Fairy Tale Opus 16
Jiri Belohlavek conducts the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra
Francaix: Le Roi Nu
(After HCA The Emperor’s New Clothes)
Thierry Fischer conducts the Ulster Orchestra
Prokofiev: Cinderella – finale
Barry Wordsworth conducts the Orchesrra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
Zemlinsky: The Little Mermaid
Zoltan Pesko conducts the South West German Radio Symphony Orchestra
Kats-Chernin: Green Leaf Prelude
Nicola Sweeney – violin
Sarah Nicolls - piano
Tchaikovsky: Sleeping Beauty – Suite
Seiji Ozawa conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra
Ravel: Ma Mere l’Oye
Paavo Jarvi conducts the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra

Thanks, John. I'll keep an eye on the synopses in Radio Times.
John Brunning once came to Newcastle City Hall to compere an evening of ultra-popular Tchaikovsky, inevitably ending with 1812. At the interval we saw him in the drinks queue with everyone else. No green room in operation that night?
Ian.

Bit late telling the group here, but tonight's Mendelssohn full works included two excellent chamber works, new to my ears:
Mendelssohn: Piano Quartet No.3 in B minor Opus 3
Schubert Ensemble
Mendelssohn: Concert Piece No.1 in F minor Opus 113
Thea King – Clarinet
Georgina Dobree – basset horn
Alun Francis conducts the London Symphony orchestra

Slightly (  ) off topic, but I remember when I saw the Floyd on the Atom Heart Mother tour at the old Free Trade Hall in Manchester (before they turned it into a *&@$%ing hotel or whatever), during the interval you couldn't get near the bar for the John Aldiss Choir and the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble (assuming it was them on the tour). Very strange interval - the bar full of ladies in posh frocks, men in DJs and a load of long haired hippies, mainly in second hand US combat jackets  |

This looks promising guys- Brunning is doing a good job there, and democracy in the drinks queue kind of reflects that. My only qualm is the b. awful ads they put on, albeit not between movements. The Missa is a cracker-a lot funkier than you might expect. Nice to see you back here Ian.

Oh mb, I am a fan of the Missa, it's just on a bit late. Though I must say when I hear it again it's no longer the same, not since Hazlewood dissected it minutely on TV couple of years back, I keep remembering his awful voice explaining the best bits |

I am a fan of the Missa [...] Though I must say when I hear it again it's no longer the same, not since Hazlewood dissected it minutely on TV couple of years back, I keep remembering his awful voice explaining the best bits John, isn't that a case of apophrades, Harold Bloom's sixth revisionary ratio, wherein a strong poet so convincingly re-casts the work of his precursor that the older work can now only be seen through the lens of the more recent one? |

Funny, I thought Apophrades was another name for the Tigris river. |

Tinners, would that be strong in the sense of 'street' , 'wicked', or '...able to leap commissioning panels in a single bound'? |

Nice to see you back here Ian.

Thank you. You're too kind. I suppose that R2 is my more natural home but I like to keep my hand in here, too.
Ian.
