Someone's got to start this. Could be the NEW thing, post 19th Feb. And again, thanks to Michael for the possibility...
Ok, I like new music. Mostly. So go on, shoot me down in flames.

Gosh, you're doing well. The vast majority of it I can't stand!
(But the good stuff is damn good, I hasten to add.)

Have you ever noticed how radio 3 put new music at the start or middle of a concert as if they put it at the end folk would walk out ?  |

Dammit, when I was a teenager I went to my first Prom, specifically to hear Prausnitz conduct Ecuatorial and Deserts by Varese. I had to sit through Jonathan Del Mar's dad conducting Beethoven's Fifth before I was allowed to hear what I went for. If only I had know that i could have slipped in for free during the interval ... ;-)

Blimey, Bryn , I remember that Prom too very clearly (although from the radio). Wish I still had the recording of Ecuatorial - it compared extremely well to recordings I've heard since.
And greetings to Mr Sudden, esteemed deliverer of child and monster. I never remembered to pass that message to Bryn (I've just remembered). Finality of the other board ? England could well still win the cricket . . .

Hello folks, Here's something to enjoy for a few minutes...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZkE81_26c8Am I right in thinking that the "Hecklers" made a bit of a protest during the performance as well? I was too young to know about this production at the time  , but I really loved the revival some years later. I wonder who the long-haired defender of Birtwistle is...? |

Greetings to everyone. Ah - the Hecklers affair - takes me back (not least to my bearded days). I know exactly who the long-haired protestor was who I was standing behind, but you can work that one out for yourselves (he doesn't have long hair anymore).
Anyhow, commendations to those who've set this board up, now that the earlier boards look under threat. Let's hope all the assembled company come here, and we keep posting links to it on the remnants of the BBC boards (so that new people are encouraged to come and join here).

Am I right in thinking that the only Birtwistle played on Radio 3 in 2006 was one carol in a December Pre-Hear?
I thought the 2004 Birtwistle Games festival was excellent, and would like to have heard more of it broadcast. I'd very much like to see productions of both Gawain and The Mask of Orpheus, however unlikely that may be. What's he working on now, and will we hear more in 2007?

What happened to the 'Romantic Composers' who were protesting against Birtwistle? Has any of their work been successful? Do they still exist as a 'movement'?

Wrong person! He's a composer (or was last time I heard of him).
