BaL 24.03.12 - Schubert's Piano Sonata in C minor, D.958

[JFLL]

Harriet Smith was Emma Woodhouse's young friend, surely

Indeed -- but 'Who can think of Miss Smith when Miss Woodhouse is near?' asks the ghastly vicar. Now if only we had Emma Woodhouse presenting concerts instead of Katie Derham and all the Sarahs! (Do I detect the germ of a new thread here? Which fictional character would you most like to hear on R3? ....)

Even more splendid, JFLL - we'll have to keep our ears peeled () in case R3 picks this one up & runs with it

You mean like Uchida at the end of D 958?

[Barbirollians]

You can't mean Hilary Finch, surely

To my ears, she always sounds ... as tho she .... has a really important .... point to make .... if only she could find her notes

Brilliant !

I have Perahia and Brendel and although I did not hear all the BAL i was very taken with the Kempff extract I heard.

Although it isn't quite one of the ultra-bargains we are now used to the DGG boxed set of Kempff playing the Schubert Piano Sonatas is very good value at £23.99 for 7 CDs. He is one of those pianists who is always enlightening, without imposing himself on the music (did someone whisper 'Uchida'?).

I thought Harriet Smith was a friend of Berlioz. My she must be getting on a bit.

I'd like to hear Mr Knightley introduce a programme. He's okay by me.
