Presenter of BBC Radio 3's Record Review on Saturdays, and Radio 3 In Concert, Wigmore Lunchtime Concerts, Operas etc. My own opinions. 🎻🚴🏼🤺
- 🌟 When the stars come out @bbcproms 🌟 …the moment the audience’s phone torches joined the light show during organist @annalapwood ‘s arrangement of Hans Zimmer’s Cornfield Chase from Interstellar @BBCRadio3 tonight
00:00 - Post-encore, off air, Stephen Hough smiling at the sound of two people clapping..! That was so special, and quite an intense experience. Live lockdown lunchtime No. 1. @houghhough @wigmore_hall @BBCRadio3
- The cover of the 1st edition of Debussy's La Mer in 1905, Hokusai's print illustrating one of the masterpieces of orchestral impressionism. But which recordings smell of the sea, the salt spray, the dialogue of wind and waves? @drflorawillson chooses for the Library @BBCRadio3
- Such a poignant image of Bela Bartok, on the boat taking him to New York in 1943 near the end of his life. But a major masterpiece was yet to come: Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, and it's heading for the Library at 0930. Emily @e_macgregor chooses the recordings @BBCRadio3
- From Waterloo Bridge, 0740. There are pluses to cycling into central London on Saturday mornings @BBCRadio3
- Today I’ve joined the BBC -the bedroom broadcasting crew! #RecordReview live from home, in a den made of mattresses and duvets and old iPads. Live at 9am...join me for the new stuff, and the sounds of Easter weekend in SE London @BBCRadio3
- Thanks to everyone who followed Record Review to its new afternoon berth today, and welcome to newcomers! Stick with us live @BBCRadio3 or catch-up @BBCSounds So many messages, tweets and emails…it’s been genuinely moving hearing how much RR matters to you all. 💕
- Here we go! Very happy to be cycling into central London to present the 1st live Wigmore Lunchtime Concert, with Stephen Hough, exactly 11 weeks after I said goodbye from the last one. Join us at 1pm @BBCRadio3 @houghhough @wigmore_hall
- Look at them! Aren’t they lovely? It’s soooo good having the bustle, chat and sense of anticipation that comes with a live audience...join us at 1 o’clock @wigmore_hall @BBCRadio3
- Richard Strauss at home in Garmisch, surrounded by the Bavarian alps...the mighty peaks enshrined in his Alpine Symphony. But which recording captures the elemental power of the score from sunrise to summit and storm? @MarkSimpson_88 chooses one for the Library at 0930 @BBCRadio3
- A copyists 1st violin part for Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C, the start in 1800 of an extraordinary symphonic journey. But which recordings are fit to grace the Library? So many for Richard Wigmore to assess in Building a Library now @BBCRadio3
- It really is good to hear from everyone on Twitter this morning! A lovely reminder with everything so eerily deserted and quiet that we're not broadcasting into thin air @BBCRadio3 Stay safe...we need you!
- Duvets and mattresses ✅ mic and tech ✅ new recordings picked ✅ studio clock set ✅ cup o’tea ✅ I think we’re ready to roll...Record Review live from SE London in an hour at 9 @BBCRadio3
