I wonder if each person doing it is benefitting from all the research and errors made in the previous versions?
Nonetheless, I look forward to hearing it.

Interview with Mitsuko UchidaI love the headline - 'You have to risk your life on stage'These are the true performers in my opinion, those who aren't happy just to play it safe. That's why Sheku Kenneh-Mason will be a global superstar. |

This is new to me, sounds very good indeed. Stripped bare, like Taverner.

It'll be interesting to see whether that goes down well. I suspect it will.

The only thing there to interest me is the the Christie Bach b-minor mass. Now on my streaming playlist for later perusal.

I can't really suffer whole operas, but this section sounds good.

I note that the Alexander KASTALSKY - Memory Eternal to the Fallen Heroes features in this list, too. It's rather good.
There are a few Respighis in there for me to listen to, as well.
Oh, and I must listen to Dmitri SHOSTAKOVICH Symphonies 4 & 11 - Boston SO/Andris Nelson.

This Trifonov Rach 2 + 4 is the one that seems to crop up most in reviews of the year ... Not sampled it yet but on the playlist.  |

Not sure there are many ballet fans here but BBC Four are showing Swan Lake tomorrow night with the Royal Ballet. My favourite dancer, Marianela Nunez, takes the lead. Should be wonderful. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001qzc |
