About to start listening (1am) to a live broadcast from the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall.
SCHUMANN
Symphony No. 3, Rhenish
HARBISON
Symphony No. 1
WAGNER
Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde, Conductor James Levine.
So far this morning: Beethoven violin concerto played by Alfredo Campoli with Boult, and Nina Simone's "Love me or Leave Me" on YouTube. Full of "Bach", the latter, plus the great line: "I intend to be independently blue".
Sunday morning is one of my favourite times for listening to music. Jordi Savall playing Mr de Sainte Colombe le Fils at the moment, but will need something to rouse me out of my torpor shortly...
Wending a happy route through the 14 CD RCO LIVE set; an Anthology of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's live radio recordings. 1980-1990. I've just finished listening to Bruckner's Sym 6/Eugen Jochum; a full-bodied performance of eloquence and gravity. A treat in a remarkable boxset.
