Spohr on BBC Radio 3 CD Review!

[Alan Howe]

At 9.30 am this Saturday, 28th November, BBC Radio 3 - as part of its regular CD Review programme - will be devoting a major slot of an hour or so to recent recordings of music by Spohr. The occasion is the 150th anniversary of his death.

John White: is this a triumph for your tireless advocacy or has there been a major change of policy at the BBC?

Thanks for spotting this one Alan. It looks as if the Controller has at last woken up!
   I wonder if he'll do anything about Ebenezer Prout on 1st December which marks the 100th anniversary of his death. I see that quite a few of his textbooks on music theory are still in print, but the only work of his I've found on CD is his Sonata  in D for Clarinet and Piano Op 26. I'm currently transcribing into Noteworthy his very tuneful String Quartet in Eb, Op.1, which won him a prize as a young man.
Cheers,
John
