At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

Schubert Lieder: Bernarda Fink with Gerold Huber (piano)
25 songs on Harmonia Mundi; HMC 901991: a real bargain at £8 99 from hmv online.
"No one who understands another's pain, and no one who
understands another's joy! We always believe we are
going towards one another, and always we merely pass by
one another. O torment for him who realises this!"
(Schubert, March 1824)

I adjourned the spin after a couple of movements of the Quartet to tune in to tonight's Prom. Very impressed with what one of Mr. Tilbury's former students is doing with The Planets. No wonder the audience is continuing their practice of applauding each movement, as they did during Pleiades. I bet they are fuming over at TOP. Must pop over and have a look.  |

He made an even more excellent fist of the Antartica, Bryn: more than enough to remind me that Tod Handley wasn't necessarily the last of the line after all.

Now that has among other things the fastest or should I say least slow Louange à l'éternité de Jésus I've ever heard. Comes in at a whisker under 7 minutes. Which considering my own personal favourite weighs in at 10'48" is quite an achievement. |

Here it's Bruno Walter's live 1950 Mahler 4. Free this month with Diapason. And damn fine it is too. I think Irmgard Seefried might be very near the top of my list of fave sopranos in the finale. (Up till now it's been Ameling with Haitink and then a very big gap back to the rest of the field...) |
