Introductions

[Terry]

Hello from Northern Ireland

I am Terry....a  BBC Music Producer  retired after 35 years.  Still an enthusiastic pianist and chamber musician  and play in the back desk violas of the local amateur orchestra. 

Couldn't begin to name my favourite composers,  the list is huge now. Especially with the advent of IMSLP.

Piano music is a big interest: French German English American Russian and so on.  Also love the jazz piano from Fats to Jarrett.

Film music I love too, especially as the cinema started my whole love affair with classical music i.e.

Johnny Green conducting the MGM Studio Orchestra in La Gazza Ladra overture in a film short before the Three Stoogies in a cinema in darkest County Antrim in 1946!

Hello Terry, great big welcome to GMG! 

My name's Ray from Canada.

Hello, Terry, and welcome. Quite diverse interests there - excellent - and of course many of us have great admiration for what the BBC has done over the years. (I'm immensely enjoying the Proms broadcasts this year.) And a pianist and a violist, marvelous.

Welcome to the forum, I hope you'll have a nice time here. You were a BBC Music Producer, that's great; I've enjoyed the BBC Proms very much this year! I'm a pianist too, although I've played it for one and half year.
