@StevenIsserlis Below the first release and recording, not often mentioned but a very impressive one, of Michael Tippett's 4th Symphony, and here coupled with the last recording of Haitink in Bruckner-7 with the VPO. Curiously the same B7 in Vienna as last rec. of Karajan before he died in 1989.

@ScottCAvery @Vienna_Phil Solti's Strauss is/was phenomenal! Additionally (not with the VPO but of the Chicago SO), below Solti's least often mentioned, but two LP-release-versions of the magnificent first recordings of Michael Tippett's 4th Symphony.

✨OUT TODAY!✨British Piano Concertos🎹 A new album celebrating the rich sound world of 20th-century British music. Featuring Sir Michael Tippett’s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra Performed by pianist Clare Hammond, the @BBCSSO and George Vass.

@MusicTippett Honestly, Tippett on Wogan feels like a fever dream. Makes me wonder where composers get a proper spotlight now-my bet’s on Dubai Opera or Abu Dhabi Festival pulling off the next surprise.

Sadly so… then again, no contemporary composer would ever get on a mainstream chat show these days.

"Poetry is fascinating. As soon as it begins the poetry has changed the thing into something extra, and somehow prose can go over into poetry." – Michael Tippett
