What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)
Posted by: Tam on 06 June 2005
Anyway, to kick things off, I'm currently, and probably for most of the rest of this week, listening to Radio 3's Beethoven Experience. They're doing one of the piano concertos at the moment and (number 2 with Glenn Gould). Anyway, the experience thing probably needs its own thread, but, even on this cheapo radio it's proving fairly enjoyable.
So, what are you listening to right now?

Just listen to
Helen Field et al singing OSUD (Fate) by Leoš Janáček in English with the Orchestra and Chorus of the Welsh National Opera conducted by Sir Charles Mackerass. You can hear every word and it's like listening to an excellent (well a bit odd really - see below) play set against some stunning music.
Míla and Živný are engaged until mother ends it 'cos she wants a better husband for Míla. However. Míla's pregnant, becomes a single mum and so can't marry until she meets Živný again; mum is none to fussed. She moves in with them and goes off her rocker. During the separation Živný's had been writing an autobiographical opera in which he's none too complimentary about Míla who he thought had run out on him. Although all is forgiven, Míla's mother won't let it rest and sings snatches of the unfinished opera to upset everybody and eventually tries to throw herself off a balcony. Míla falls trying to save her - they both die. Živný attempts to finish the opera and the son (now grown up) attends a rehearsal and guesses what the opera is about. Živný is so overcome with remorse he dies. It's a comedy BTW.
Anyway it was very good.
