Classical Edge - Tue 9pm & Sun 4am

In the Britten piece this evening, listen for the saxophone in the first and second movements. Beautiful and delicate dissonance in the third movement. This is not a like on first hearing piece, so if you are not turned on, give it another listen in a fortnight. Be careful, you will fall in love with it, then it will break your heart and you will end up in tears.
 
Here are two reviews from critics of Turangalila.  The pre-concert talk was fantastic. They introduced the 4 themes, they had a talk about the very unusual synthesizer that was being used. I really like our new conductor. He's affable, concise, enthusiastic. I can say the music live had a much richer and dynamic feel than the recording, which isn't a real surprise. After ingesting the album all week on my headphones, it was really fresh to feel the material in an expansive, perfectly tuned room. So odd, to watch 100+ people decode a symphony at once, isn't it? I mean, some guy spends a couple years writing a few thousand pages of weird code and then a group of people pluck and blow on wood and metal and we are emotionally moved. Zadok   http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2020264696_messiaenreviewxml.html   I didn't see you at Turangalila. Well that is not your fault. I got sick Saturday morning and was unable to attend. Was I heart broken. If you want to write a critique and email it to me I would be glad to publish in this letter and read it on the air....   Remember, CE starts on Tuesdays at the new time of 9PM, (not 11).
