I thought this would be popular.  Anyone going?

Quote
Renée Fleming sings Berg's luminous Seven Early Songs – tonight expanded with a new orchestration of an additional early song. Fleming also shows a more seductive side in two gorgeously upholstered arias by anniversary-composer Korngold. Schumann's Beethovenian Second Symphony and Beethoven's Eighth complete a varied Austro-German programme.


Beethoven
Symphony No. 8 in F Major (28 mins)
Berg
Seven Early Songs (18 mins)
An Leukon (arr. C. Gordon; UK premiere) (2 mins)

Interval


Korngold
Die Kathrin – 'Ich soll ihn niemals, niemals mehr sehn' (5 mins)
Korngold
Das Wunder der Heliane – 'Ich ging zu ihm' (7 mins)
Schumann
Symphony No. 2 in C Major (38 mins)

Renée Fleming soprano
BBC Philharmonic
Gianandrea Noseda conductor
[/size]

Is it worth me queuing if I can't get there before 5.45?

The only two 'gorgeously upholstered' anythings I can think of sung in opera are surely Le Fauteuil and La Bergère (the two chairs) in Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortilèges. What a bizarre use of language.

Queus don't seem to build in the same way they used to, even if the Arena ends up full in the end.  Even last night the Arena was less than two-thirds full at the point it appeared that the queues had been fully admitted.  However, the numbers continued to build slowly, and we did eventually get to the point of being asked to (stand up and move forward - kind of difficult when you're on the rail anyway...)

They obviously meant 'enchantingly bejewelled', Ron. Wink

This concert is being slated on a certain other message board, especially the Beethoven. I didn't think it was that bad. Perhaps the Beethoven was a little routine but it seemed tidy enough. I enjoyed hearing the Schumann 2 again, having not heard it for some time.

'Spectacularly stuffed', shurely?

(Or can we work 'beguiling' into there somewhere?...)

Agent Gusset, you appear to have transformed your green stuffed armchair into a beguiling roll-top desk.  Roll Eyes

Tony, it's mainly a couple of resident trolls there who are having a go. Wasn't it Noseda and the BBC Phil who made the music for the infamous Radio 3 Beethoven Symphonies free downloads of the "Beethoven Experience". I wasn't that taken with them, but many, many were. Indeed, at higher bit rates they are now available commercially.
