As far as I can see most of next week's concerts are recorded; just Thursday's will be live. There was quite an outcry - and an Early Day Motion in Parliament - a few years back when RW announced that evening concerts would be recorded and broadcast 'as live' (and slightly edited to shoehorn them into a fixed slot). Has this been the case for some time?

The handover wasn't live - the concert was recorded a few days ago.
Now for trying to get my head straight. I know that concerts in olden days were done differently, but did that really include cutting and pasting a symphony around 2 concertos and a few other bits and pieces? Is this part of the getting a new audience drive and if so what would they take away from this car crash if they were listening?
I confess I didn't help myself by falling asleep shortly before the end of the K175 piano concerto and waking up during the post concert Schubert piano filler - and wondering where the orchestra had gone...
As a way of celebrating 75 years of the London Mozart Players I felt it left something to be desired.

Well I missed the point at which we went from mixtape(weekday version) to WAM mixtape and assumed that it was a live cock-up. If it was a recorded event then what's the excuse?

This concert was presented as a recreation of the 1783 concert at which the Haffner symphony was premiered, so the cutting and pasting are 'authentic' and in accordance with Mozart's instructions. Whether that makes for a satisfactory experience for a modern-day audience is open to question, I suppose.

Did anyone hear Wednesday's concert, with the Finale from Michael Haydn's Symphony No 28 played before Mozart's Jupiter symphony in the second half? The conductor Joshua Weilerstein included it because of the influence it appears to have had on Mozart's composing, and the resulting similarities in the music between the two works. He explained it well, such that even my not very technical ears could identify what he meant.
