"Classical Live" was once Afternoon Concert

Grateful for small mercies... at last, some music by Arnold Cooke on Radio 3, and moreover a work I haven't heard before, his clarinet sonata, in today's Wigmore Hall recital.Thank you, Michael Collins.

Thanks

I missed that announcement. Is Penny going from TTN as well? I agree she will be much missed.

Ah, just seen the update, so I guess Penny is still on TTN!

OOps. Apologies for confusing the two ladies. It was indeed Fiona. Same comments apply though! She and Penny are the last of the old guard .

Indeed - a Penny for our thoughts.

Penny Gore's departure seems to have gone unremarked. She paid a fond farewell to her listeners earlier this week . I don't know if it's just retirement or if she's fed up with the brave new world of Radio 3. At any rate, I regard her as the last of the traditional R3 voices. She will be much missed.

Was it Fiona Talkington on Tuesday (~2:50:00 in) "14th of November 1989..."? I'd missed that poignant farewell (I usually avoid daytime R3).
As you say, a real R3 voice, she will be much missed.

This currently on

Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 5 in C sharp minor Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Klaus Mäkelä (conductor)

is shaping up to be a mighty fine performance. The RCO string’s beautifully caught by an exceptional sound balance.

Thank you!

Perhaps they thought it was one way of getting the 3rd and 4th on 1 disc!
In which movements of the 4th is MA's version most strikingly different from Andrew Penny's (or vice versa)?

And how different (in speed) is the performance of the fourth compared to Arnold's own on Lyrita!
AP 37'47"
MA 54'11"
(I don't think it's a case of missing repeats.)

I've almost worked my way through the box set of Arnold symphonies which I bought and mentioned recently and the answer to the (at least for me) important question 'do you want to hear this again?' is definitely 'yes'. The Andrew Penny set was recorded in the presence of the composer and the filler on the final CD is a discussion between conductor and composer.
