Our very own marbleflugel will be performing at the weekend, he has puter probs again so I said I would post the link for him. It's on Saturday 23rd at The Space, Westferry "A warm chill in August" (great title!) I realise most folks in London will be promming but it would be great if he had some fellow Bordees in the audience and great value at only £5, starts at 7.30 http://www.space.org.uk/home.phpHe will be linking the music with stories he has written (the ones contained in his stolen bag which was miraculously returned by British Transport Police) and acting as overall compere. Should be a most entertaining evening. In marbs' own words: "In the shadow of the gradually localising Docklands complex, it's one of those atmospheric converted nineteenth century churches-lovely acoustic ,grand piano , gallery. Having previously worked there with Cat Kontz in her music theatre piece Mie, I now have the pleasure of hosting an eclectic bill of musicians and songwriters including Alex Routledge, whose post-romantic piano has been in my musical orbit for 3 or 4 years now, and Grammy-Winning guitarist Amrit Sond, whose playing generates the texture of a small orchestra with a busy percussion section. We'll also have the Cello-Led Laundrette Poets who are the mellow side of Hull and Nicky Hart with Chansons from Stoke Newington. All in all its a convivial musos' hangout that extends its franchise to a receptive and diverse audience."

Rats indeed Ron. I have heard Amrit Sond on one of Marb's podcasts, very good I thought. And Marb's stories will not be delivered in Mediaeval English  If I could go I would but South Wales to The Isle of Dogs is near enough impossible.

Gosh, Tam! I'd forgotten about Edinburgh. Why haven't we heard anything else about the festival yet?  I don't know. Lovely concert on Wednesday that featured Brendel, Mackerras and the SCO, after which Mackerras was deservedly made honorary president of the International Festival Society. (Which, unbelievably, even the BBC News website managed to notice). I haven't had a chance to post much for the last month or so (I am also a venue manager at one of the fringe venues), but I and my brother have reviewed one or two of the concerts on our website: http://www.wheresrunnicles.com/search/label/EIF%202008 |

Couldn't work out which is the proper plug thread for one's own events (the two plug threads I found seem not to be primarily about concerts), so apologies if this is the wrong place to post. Just for those few here resident in Ireland, or anyone else who happens to be passing through, to plug my own performance of Messiaen Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jésus in the National Concert Hall, Dublin, at 7:30 on this Monday, September 8 (this time without an interval).

That's an attractive programme, Tommo. I don't know the Myaskovsky Cello Concerto, only the 1st Sonata. I've recently invested in the big box of symphonies conducted by Svetlanov and it's rewarding listening.
Keeping in Russian mode, I've just returned from the Barbican and two LSO concerts containing all three Rachmaninov symphonies (and the 4th Piano Concerto). Fantastic playing - in this sort of form I'd put the LSO right at the top of the pile in the UK - and the good news is that both concerts were recorded for Radio 3 (to be relayed on 7th and 8th of October). It seems they could all appear on LSO Live too - the 2nd was also performed last night, so they've got two performances of that taped. CNN were also filming for use in a documentary about Gergiev, which is screening in mid-October. After the Proms appearance under Noseda, this is the second time in recent weeks that I've heard the 1st and I've come to admire it a little more than the 3rd.

A few Friends of the Board involved in this one... (The bumpf isn't mine, I hasten to say. I like 'utopian demands', though ) BMIC's 'Cutting Edge' series, The Warehouse, London, Thursday November 6th, 7.30pm. Acclaimed soloists in their own right, Mark Knoop and Carl Rosman also regularly perform at the heart of such new music groups as the Libra Ensemble, ELISION, Plus-Minus and musikFabrik. For the last 16 years they have performed widely in Australia and Europe as a duo, rising to the most utopian demands of today’s composers for the combination of clarinet and piano. For the Cutting Edge they perform new works by Chris Dench, Andrew Digby and Adam de la Cour as well as the UK première of Michael Finnissy’s Clarinet Sonata and Richard Barrett’s controversial Flechtwerk, composed for them in 2007. Chris Dench - Plenum Enno Poppe Holz - solo Michael Finnissy - Clarinet Sonata Richard Barrett - Flechtwerk Jonathan Harvey - Transformations of ‘Love Bade Me Welcome’ Adam de la Cour - Beat Me Martin Butler - Lovesongs Waltzes Andrew Digby - gripes |

Aaarrggh! I do very much hope I can manage to be there but it will require a certain amount of negotiation with my brother over dates of a family commitment which we are undertaking between us. Well it did generate varied views here  ranging from "Thank god you are out there RB making this music for us" and "fantastic cat with the licorice stick" via "something of an uncritical pot-boiler" to "unmusical". So, no riots, but a bit of controversy there.  |

''something of an uncritical pot-boiler'' Well, if I could write pot-boilers as fiercely 'critical' and exciting as Flechtwerk I'd be a happy man.  |
