For once was listening to In Tune live at the right time today Petroc Trelawny. Smiled all the way through ‘On Ilkley Moor b’aht’at’. Still adapting to the difference from Breakfast (fewer women composers in the recorded music?) but glad to still hear current cultural commentary.
Catching up with yesterday’s In Tune Petroc Trelawny - wonderful rendition of Hardy’s The Voice by Anton Lesser with the Orchestra of the Swan bringing out the poem’s ghostliness and sense of loss. Lovely interview and beautiful Finzi to close from David Le Page. ruth
Just catching up BBC Sounds with today’s In Tune Petroc Trelawny;sadly for one reason or another I seldom catch it at its actual time. Great to hear Ian Venables described as ‘Worcester’s second most famous composer’. Beautiful rendition of his Elgar’s Music by Roderick Williams.
Particularly enjoyable Private Passions today with Neil Hanson of The Divine Comedy (unknown to me). Wide and interesting choice of music including Ravel, Nino Rota and Scott Walker. Michael Berkeley’s interviewing is so accomplished, drawing his subject well beyond the music.
Catching up with Tuesday’s In Tune Petroc Trelawny - lovely to hear Ned Rorem’s Early in the Morning, an old Breakfast favourite, followed fairly closely by a wonderfully lush Londonderry Air. Hoping to catch today’s In Tune live!!
Enjoying catching up with Thursday’s and Friday’s In Tune with Petroc Trelawny while sheltering from the heat - interesting interviews with Jonathan Dove and Laurence Cummings and currently compelling new 25 for 25 Whale Song piece (sorry missed composer). Thank you Petroc.
Enjoying the Spitalfields Festival’s being highlighted on In Tune Petroc Trelawny. Saw elsewhere that there is a new musical version of Under Milk Wood also at that Festival, on tonight I think, by Ninfea Crutwell-Reade. May have missed it being mentioned.
Another really interesting In Tune today Petroc Trelawny, especially the extended piece about the 100 Voices NHS installation National Theatre accompanying the play Nye. Looking forward to the Brodsky Quartet tomorrow.
I’d like to commend an excellent series on Virginia Woolf on BBC Radio 4, Artworks, Three Transformations of Virginia Woolf, fronted by Fiona Shaw with many expert voices. Interesting, fresh ideas, a good critical balance, and a clear concentration on Woolf’s great writing.
The 26th Graham Greene International Festival (25-28 Sept) - tickets on sale for Armando Iannucci and lots of other great Greene-ery. Visit grahamgreenebt.org/festival/ Literary Hub Guardian Books Penguin Books UK Penguin Books UK The Bookseller Bloomsbury Books UK literary review Richard Greene
Beautiful sequence on BBC Radio 3 In Tune Petroc Trelawny just now marking three musicians’ birthdates today. A particularly captivating, ethereal performance by Ann Murray of ‘She Moved Through the Fair’. Today a rare time when I catch the programme live!
