14.3.11 - Stravinsky

[Bryn]

I think there have been repeats before (other than later on the same day) but I haven't got any details about how many or how often.

Even TTN gets regular (complete) repeats, as does The Early Music Show. We'll notice that Breakfast is getting repeats when Rob pops up playing the Eroica on the kazoo again ...

There have been many repeats of Composer of the Week programmes. A fair few have been round several times. Just look out for the "(R)".

When were you and ardcarp students?

In my case, late 60s/early 70s.

[ardcarp]

Me mid to late 60s..

Strange that in an otherwise excellent introduction to each of the movements of the Symphony in Three Movements DM made no reference to the reason for the prominent piano part.

[3rd Viennese School]

cause it was to be a piano concerto?

3VS

Exactly. I thought that this should have been mentioned, particularly in view of the detailed descriptions given of each of the individual movements.

[QUOTE=french frank;38198]This week's CotW is a repeat.

Missed the first broadcast of this COTW, and was extremely pleased to hear it this time round. They can play it every week as far as I am concerned.

It brought home to me how much my musical tastes are influenced by the later works of Stravinsky.

There's been alot of Stravinsky played in the room I'm sitting in at the moment I can tell you

Found in a charity shop in Windsor today for £2, Stravinsky - Firebird (the classic 1959 recording) , Fireworks, Tango Scherzo a la Russe, and The Song of the Nightingale - LSO, Dorati (the 1991 Philips CD issue). They are fondly remembered from their LP version, and I am glad to hear them again:

Bryn, have you still got that link to that price comparison tool that monitors Amazon and other music websites for the best buy? I have had to do a complete system restore on my laptop in the last couple of days and can't for the life of me remember what it was called! Cheers in advance.
