Excellent first half. Loved the Oberon.
I haven't heard the Schoenberg arrangement of Brahms before but it seems to be working very well.
Here's a thought. Didn't Wagner describe Brahms' first symphony as "chamber music writ large"? So has anyone arranged it for a chamber group?

Someone must have, whether or not it has achieved wide circulation...
A school friend of mine always wanted to arrange Mahler 8 as the Symphony of a Dozen. Still a good idea I think.

RUTH: You shall find me a wife of a thousand!
FREDERIC: No, but I shall find you a wife of forty-seven, and that is quite enough.

OK, Alee, you win this time... I didn't expect an encore last night, though.  |

Perhaps we should both listen to Valse Triste before retiring for the sake
of completing this matter.

An added attraction to tonight's Proms Interval Feature on BBC 4. A most pleasant surprise to see Teresa Cahill replacing husband Matthias Goerne, as interviewee, due to his mobility problems with torn ligaments.
Operagoers may remember Teresa Cahill as a most popular artist at Covent Garden in the 70s: Zerlina (Don Giovanni) and Servilia ( La Clemenza di Tito) both conducted by Colin Davis; and Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier) conducted by Carlos Kleiber. Her concert career included many Proms - Mahler's Das Klagende Lied with Gennady Rozhdestvensky - a recent unexpected replacement, too - and Wigmore Hall recitals.

That's a good idea, Ali. I was just looking at what versions I've got. Only one on CD as far as I can see (my CDs are somewhat scattered) - Barbirolli and the Halle.

Only Gothenburg SO / Jarvi (N) for me.
Not a dyed in the wool Sibelian.

And a very naughty First Niece (Peter Grimes) too. Well, I never. I didn't know they were Mr and Mrs before. |

Indeed, George. And the mind boggles when I realise that I'm reviving memories of some 35 years ago. In fact, I've just unearthed an audio cassette,-remember those? - Teresa Cahill: Richard Strauss Lieder, on a Chandos chrome dioxide tape. Sounded very posh and impressive in 1983.  |

erm...am I out of date? Last I knew Teresa Cahill's long-term partner was Robert Saxton. Isn't this still the case? |

This orchestra seemed endlessly adaptable: in the Weber there was all the required pointedness and exhilaration (and a last chord that would be hard to beat in its "lift"), while the Mahler had a wonderful Solti-Norn-induced haziness to it.

# 9 and 11. George Garnett and Stuart Macrae. I've just listened to the Teresa Cahill interview on a DVD recording and it seems likely that I may have got it wrong Initially, she speaks about "especially as my husband is also in this broadcast" and,of course, it is feasible that "he" was participating in quite a different role! I assumed that she'd agreed to attend, at short notice as surrogate. Never assume. Profuse apologies to all concerned.
