NormanH Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Yes BUT even on arte there is that idiotic business of interrupting a recording of a performance with talking heads spouting banalities instead of letting the viewer listen.[:@] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 I so agree, they ALL do it [6] However, if something really grabs me, I then go away and find a full performance elsewhere though that isn't always possible.It seems to me that everything is shortened, neatened, cleaned out, trussed up and only then presented. I have spent the last week listening to Cardiff Singer of the World and there were some real gems and I couldn't begin to pick the winner. But again, they pick bits and pieces, and only broadcast on a Welsh channel.To the starving, I suppose even crumbs are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chessfou2 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 "Music broadcasting has become like MacDonalds"But even McDo, I believe, not being able to speak with full knowledge, do not expect their customers to settle just for the sesame seed bun, or the patty, or the 'trimmings' ...I hate those channels that insist on broadcasting little slices of great musuic.

NormanH Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Extraordinary! le Quatuor pour le fin du temps de Messiaen played in the camp in which it was written during his internment...One of the most profound pieces of chamber music of the 20th C given an extra dimension herehttps://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/099065-000-A/olivier-messiaen-quatuor-pour-la-fin-du-temps/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 YES, I watched that....gave me goose bumps..I thought the violinist was fantastic. Did you see her bowing technique? Unbelievably difficult and she did it so gracefully and apparently effortlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessfou2 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I saw a very nice typo day before yesterday, relating to tonight's Concert de Paris.Linternaute.com (https://www.linternaute.com/sortir/guide-des-loisirs/1030307-14-juillet-2021-defile-magasins-ouverts-et-histoire-du-14-juillet/) announced that the mezzo would be Clémentine Margarine.I had not previously heard of Mme Margaine. I think she is rather well known, but very unlikely to change her name to include that 'r'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 If you can have lemon butter (for icing) why not clementine margarine? [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 It wasn't the first time I experienced this performance and it was even better the second time around[:D][url]https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/087862-000-A/riccardo-muti-dirige-le-requiem-de-verdi/[/url]Just excellent all round.....music, soloists, choir, orchestra.....perfect...

NormanH Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 The orchestra and choir are excellent, but I found the tenor too forced as if he were in pain .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanH Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I loved it as you knew I would.For youhttps://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/104845-000-A/christian-thielemann-elina-garanca-et-l-orchestre-philharmonique-de-vienne/These are some of the few things by Mahler that I can stomach, and 'ich bin an der Welt' is one of the songs which means most to be..

mint Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hells Bells, I can't get any sound[6] Going to have to find a way to get it working...I love Elina Garanca's singing; always so composed and sings right in the middle of the note and has a great range and huge stage presence.Will have another go tomorrow.

mint Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Still no sound on that link from my computer though I have sound for every other video[:'(]Borrowed OH's computer and, while there was sound, it was still faint despite my turning up the volume to 100%.Then I borrowed his tablette and at last I managed to hear the concert. Anyway, that was just moaning; concert was lovely and I am here to say thank you[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 There have been some wonderful things on ARTE recently.We are so lucky[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Indeed, I often wonder what I'd do without Arte. OTOH am still waiting for a prom that would set the Thames on fire. Haven't been particularly struck by anything so far but I know it's only a matter of time[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanH Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 There is a little volume control on the right hand side of the screen that is sometimes down too low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
