    Thumbs up Enticing piano trios to start Through The Night tonight

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0197660

    Perfect for the early hours - or any time in place of Petroc's burblings and Boleros

    Debussy, Claude (1862-1918)
    Danseuses de Delphes, La cathédrale engloutie, La danse de Puck, Le vent dans la plaine, Minstrels - from Preludes (Book 1)
    Claude Debussy (1862-1918) (piano)
    Are we really getting Debussy himself as pianist? I think he may have recorded some piano rolls.
    Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency....

    Bien vu ! There might of course have been a website cock-up...

    (Btw have you caught up with 'Jardin des Critiques' from last weekend? Serge Baudo himself a delightful panellist, and talking in very illuminating fashion about "Les Nuits d'Été" )

    Ah, not yet, there are a couple to catch up with. I have downloaded the podcast though and will probably skip to that one first. I think that's another piece where they've repeated a work covered on La tribune. Deliberate?

    I don't know - but I recall the earlier go at this piece on TCD and was going to give that another listen. What was the other JCD prog which duplicated an earlier TCD?

    Several - Liszt Les années de pèlerinage, Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, Mahler 9 and Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, in some cases featuring the same discs...
