so I'll keep it brief.
If you happen to like Bernstein ...
there happens to be a BBC Radio 3 broadcast (it was scheduled for Sunday 4th February late evening, but it's on iPlayer now, which certainly makes for more convenient listening hours)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09qqcb0 It's an hour in total, consisting of three works:
Bernstein's last published work (??? I think. iirc), Arias and Barcarolles (I'd never heard this before - it was fun!)
a very early work, Clarinet Sonata (beautiful, and Copeland-y)
[Touches: Chorale, eight variations and coda for piano (this was included in the live performance today, but it's going to be broadcast separately on a different day so it won't be in this programme)]
and (this is where I break out in a cold sweat, you can tell)
Prelude, Fugue and Riffs (about the last 10-15 minutes of the programme)
and the soloist on Prelude, Fugue and Riffs is ... Spawn#2
(it's an ensemble piece, not like the others which are a four-hander and a duet respectively, so it's not a solo piece it just has a solo in it)
