Thanks for drawing our attention to this Doug. This is a repeat week. The programme went out correctly with no final announcement. But it turns out to be a problem with the way repeats are handled by BBC Sounds. It’s being looked into!

Neil Fisher Edinburgh International Festival Royal Scottish National Orchestra Christine Goerke I'll take that and add in Act 1 of Die Walkure 2 years earlier. The roar at the end almost brought the Usher Hall roof down!

Thank you so much to everyone who sent me such lovely birthday greetings yesterday. I am very touched.

We are very sorry to hear of the death of Sir Andrew Davis. A major musical figure at the Proms since 1968 and a favourite with audiences and musicians alike. His concerts will be remembered, and he will be greatly missed.

What is the collective noun for a group of radio 3 presenters…? Thanks to BBC Music Magazine for a brilliant evening

Absolutely stunning concert of Renaissance polyphony from the fabulous The Marian Consort in the, to me, previously unknown, glorious lecture theatre V&A. Sublime music perfectly complemented by images of contemporary paintings brilliantly presented by Tim Shepard The University of Sheffield

#JanVanEyck Catching up w old news. Having taught the traditional interpretation of this as a wedding portrait, I decided to look at new research. She is not Jeanne de Cename is he Giovanni di Arrigo Arnolfini; they did not wed until 1447.It gets weirder 🧵

Evening stroll soundtrack: the physical, almost geological work of Grieg on Composer of the Week presented by ⁦Donald Macleod⁩ ⁦BBC Radio 3⁩ ⁦BBC Sounds⁩ bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

It’s music that has powerful associations for so many of us Doug.

Donald Macleod taking me back to 4 years old with Composer of the Week today and my first ever classical music In The Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg BBC Radio 3 on mum's old gramophone. Many thanks 😊

It’s Neville Marriner Day BBC Radio 3 on what would have been the celebrated conductor’s 100th birthday. For Composer of the Week at 4pm Donald Macleod looks at Grieg’s breakthrough works through recordings conducted by Marriner. Producer Megan Jones bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

That should be “waulking.”

I’m going to do a short course for a small group of singers 22-25 August in Lewisham, London. Hopefully I’ll get some wonderful colleagues to help out too..please message me if you have interest?

I could list ten UK baritones off the top of my head in whose shadows I’m not worthy to walk. I’m happy to be billed as “One of South Warwickshire’s more expensive baritones”. How’s that?
