This is interesting, a fairly straight comparison. Bliss, Vaughan Williams, Britten: Three Great War Poets | Arts of War and Peace ⁦@ruth71500499⁩ ⁦@PetrocTrelawny⁩

I’d like to commend an excellent series on Virginia Woolf on @BBCRadio4, Artworks, Three Transformations of Virginia Woolf, fronted by Fiona Shaw with many expert voices. Interesting, fresh ideas, a good critical balance, and a clear concentration on Woolf’s great writing.

Another really interesting In Tune today @PetrocTrelawny, especially the extended piece about the 100 Voices NHS installation @NationalTheatre accompanying the play Nye. Looking forward to the Brodsky Quartet tomorrow.

Enjoying the Spitalfields Festival’s being highlighted on In Tune @PetrocTrelawny. Saw elsewhere that there is a new musical version of Under Milk Wood also at that Festival, on tonight I think, by Ninfea Crutwell-Reade. May have missed it being mentioned.

Enjoying catching up with Thursday’s and Friday’s In Tune with @PetrocTrelawny while sheltering from the heat - interesting interviews with Jonathan Dove and Laurence Cummings and currently compelling new 25 for 25 Whale Song piece (sorry missed composer). Thank you Petroc.

Catching up with Tuesday’s In Tune @PetrocTrelawny - lovely to hear Ned Rorem’s Early in the Morning, an old Breakfast favourite, followed fairly closely by a wonderfully lush Londonderry Air. Hoping to catch today’s In Tune live!!.

Particularly enjoyable Private Passions today with Neil Hanson of The Divine Comedy (unknown to me). Wide and interesting choice of music including Ravel, Nino Rota and Scott Walker. @MichaelBerkele2’s interviewing is so accomplished, drawing his subject well beyond the music.

Just catching up @BBCSounds with today’s In Tune @PetrocTrelawny;sadly for one reason or another I seldom catch it at its actual time. Great to hear Ian Venables described as ‘Worcester’s second most famous composer’. Beautiful rendition of his Elgar’s Music by Roderick Williams.

Catching up with yesterday’s In Tune @PetrocTrelawny - wonderful rendition of Hardy’s The Voice by Anton Lesser with the @Orchestra_Swan bringing out the poem’s ghostliness and sense of loss. Lovely interview and beautiful Finzi to close from @DavidLePage17. @ruth71500499.

For once was listening to In Tune live at the right time today @PetrocTrelawny. Smiled all the way through ‘On Ilkley Moor b’aht’at’. Still adapting to the difference from Breakfast (fewer women composers in the recorded music?) but glad to still hear current cultural commentary.

This just arrived after pre-ordering - much looking forward to seeing what @seanehewitt does with the novel genre, since he is already master in poetry and memoir!

Been dipping in and out of the all-day Record Review @andrewCDmcg and the last hour has been full of good things Shostakovich, Puccini, Pappano, Dudamel, and Samuel West commending my favourite, Mendelssohn Octet, a work of genius. All with expert commentary. Great radio.

Catching up with Friday’s In Tune @BBCRadio3 @PetrocTrelawny. Wonderful to hear - live! - music from Ian Venables’ early repertoire, twinned with a first broadcast of the recently discovered Chanson Triste by Ivor Gurney. Lovely programming and fascinating discussion.

I’ve just bought this painting in a charity shop - artist’s initials only, CS. Wonder if anyone recognises the place depicted? Docks of some kind and either a cathedral or fortification in the background. Rochester came to my mind. @HWarlow @ahistoryinart @PeterLeyland12

A great stretch of music just now @BBCRadio3. First COTW @DonaldMacleod01, Carl Nielsen (new to me), a massive energy to the music. And now In Tune with its delightful mix of interviews by @PetrocTrelawny with artists, and their live music. I’m enjoying Petroc in the afternoons!.

Had to miss @PetrocTrelawny’s first In Tune yesterday, so after a wakeful night am happily catching up at breakfast time! Lovely start to the programme and so good to hear Mark-Anthony Turnage after his Olivier success. All seems a natural fit for Petroc. And Susan Kenyon too!.
