I don't know if you like what used to be called chamber music, but I think it's good to lisen to at home , in a small room. I play this kind of music when doing the ironing, found this one which must be a classic:

Will enjoy that too no doubt...

Did you know you can get Arte subtitled in English for replay?

Arty Arte [:D]

Here is a recent concert, so it doesn't need subtitles

but many of the german langauage programmes are excellent

Must be losing my touch [+o(]

I have to say that the were all marvellous, but is classical music in Britain in the hands of Asians and Eastern European teachers?

Poor Norman, you must be losing your touch in more senses than one?

Sorry, didn't mean to make fun......it's just such a lovely day here, after a period of variable and damp weather, that I feel on top of the world and everything looks alive and interesting and my childish side is to the fore[:D]

Britten Sinfonia's strings to the fore:

Strauss's Metamorphosen so much of its time when it was composed and now sending shivers down spines.

On the basis that a bit of melodrama never does anyone any harm, I am pointing you to this [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07g8nrm[/url]

I do realise that it may not be to your exact (and exacting!) taste but it beats watching football and listening to military bands which seem to have featured all day.

Personally I love the intermezzo from CR and the prelude from Pag.  Also, they have found a neat way of melding the 2 operas together, neat and appropriate.

What is it about the Orpheus story that has so inspired and entranced throughout so many centuries?

Radio 3 has performances of many pieces and diverse composers and artists the last few days.

Here is Marilyn Horne..........er, in case you need persuading?[:D]
