Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: GUEST,Azoic Date: 07 Aug 11 - 09:57 AM How likely is it that this BBC Prom show will ever be released on CD? |
|
Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: GUEST,henryp Date: 07 Aug 11 - 12:45 PM Azoic, I doubt that it will be released as a CD. It's going to be broadcast on BBC4 TV at 7.30pm BST on Sunday 14 August, so you've got a little longer to make some arrangements to watch or record it. You could even arrange a trip here. |

Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: GUEST,henryp Date: 10 Aug 11 - 06:12 PM Correction! Radio Times gives the BBC4 TV broadcast as 7.00pm BST on Sunday 14 August. BST, British Summer Time, is one hour ahead of GMT, Greenwich Mean Time. You can find very comprehensive programme notes via a link on the BBC Prom 25 site. It's followed at 8.10pm by a repeat of Come Clog Dancing - Treasures of English Folk Dance. BBC4 TV often has music on Friday nights. On Friday 19 August there is an evening devoted to Demis Roussos and Exotic Pop then at 11.20pm Nana Mouskouri at the BBC. |

Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: nutty Date: 14 Aug 11 - 05:09 PM Watching the performance on TV was even more enjoyable than listening to it. Congratulations to all concerned. Please BBC can we have more? |
|
Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: Tootler Date: 14 Aug 11 - 05:23 PM Excellent. I enjoyed it more than when I listened on the radio. |

Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: GUEST,SteveGF Date: 14 Aug 11 - 05:49 PM F*****g Brilliant! Loved the whole thing, but the NE element was outstanding. Oh and the clogging programme was very good as well. |
|
Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: GUEST,oracle Date: 14 Aug 11 - 06:22 PM Didn't really believe the 5 star reviews (Guardian, FT, etc) but, having just watched it - yeh, that was just 'something else'. If the BEEB are listening, give us all more of this! Kath Tickell's vision and her band's performance was fantastic. She obviously loves Grainger and her choice of NE collaberators couldn't have been better - June Tabor (an adopted northerner I believe) was superb, The Wilson Family, as has been said, surely deserve the Albert Hall stage to themselves one of these days, the Northern Sinfonia were terrific and the BBC Singers were a perfect compliment - all brought together by the 'easy', laid back conductor John Harle. This was a Proms to be savoured again, and again and, with a bit of luck again - next year. |

Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: Tig Date: 14 Aug 11 - 06:58 PM A great prom. Even the Wilson's scrubbed up well and performed brilliantly - although I think I prefer them 'live' :-) If there were more programmes like this I am certain I would go back to listening to the radio. |
|
Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: GUEST,Tim Date: 18 Aug 11 - 01:00 PM Excellent!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: Will Fly Date: 18 Aug 11 - 01:51 PM Excellent - just caught it on iPlayer! Greg Stevens - more versions of Shallow Brown to add to your collection! :-) |

Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: melodeonboy Date: 18 Aug 11 - 01:53 PM I confess to not finding it easy to fully appreciate classical musicians performing folk music (no matter how well it's played!). That aside, what a great step forward to have such wonderful ambassadors of folk music - Tickell, Tabor and the Wilsons - taking part in the Proms. And such excellent performances! It's a while since I've seen Tickell's band. Blimey, they're good! |
|
Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: Will Fly Date: 18 Aug 11 - 02:10 PM It's a superb band, isn't it? The only thing that grated - and it's just the teensiest, weensiest of grates - was the pickup on the guitar. It had that rather plasticky timbre that spoils the acoustic sound of the instrument. But that's a minor caveat - he's a great performer. |

Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: The Sandman Date: 18 Aug 11 - 03:58 PM I had the privilege of watching it with my good friends Steve and Chris Wilson, briLliant.June Tabor singing Green Bushes was excellent, she did it better than even I could have done |
|
Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: JohnB Date: 17 Aug 11 - 05:42 PM Absolutely BRILLIANT, just watched the I player link above. Anyone who is rejected by BBC's Iplayer should try a programme called Expat Shield, that is how I just watched it in Canada. JohnB. |

Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: Steve Shaw Date: 17 Aug 11 - 07:10 PM Yikes. I was totally underwhelmed by the whole thing. June "I'm a folk singer and I'm here to depress you" Tabor indeed sang well, but what a grim start to what should have been an upbeat event. I can't think that Percy would have been very impressed. The whole place lit up with Kathryn Tickell's band every time they appeared (which wasn't often enough or long enough). The orchestral playing was routine (the conductor seemed at times to be doing little more than keeping the beat) and there are far better versions of Grainger's music on CD, and I shouldn't be saying that about a live performance. And we were regaled with Drunken bloody Sailor and Shallow bloody Brown. It was a concert for the folkie in-crowd only. Which will shrivel all the more if that's the best representation of ourselves we can come up with. Heavy, man. Jeez, we even had regulation finger in ear. Wot an advert! |

Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: Will Fly Date: 18 Aug 11 - 04:36 AM Sorry to hear it was less than satisfying for you, Steve - but beauty, of course, is in the ear of the beholder. Interesting comment on June Tabor. I've never found her singing depressing. Intense, yes, and very moving. Still, different strokes, etc. |

Subject: RE: BBC Proms From: Steve Shaw Date: 18 Aug 11 - 12:41 PM Yep, there you go. |
