Quote from: Karl Henning on Today at 02:23:33 PMYes, with a cute Honor Blackman joke about her sending a Christmas card from Kentucky. Also with Mervyn Johns, who played Bob Cratchit opposite Alistair Sim!
I forgot about that Xmas card! Lovely little in-joke, indeed.

Quote from: Number Six on Today at 02:14:11 PMThere's a great episode of The Avengers from the Steed and Peel B&W season called "Too Many Christmas Trees."

That title fits this thread today.  :-[

Quote from: brewski on December 04, 2024, 07:55:15 AMFor anyone who loves the saxophone, last night the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society livestreamed its first-ever recital for saxophone and piano, with Valentin Kovalev and Amy Yang. The last piece, by Takashi Yoshimatsu, has an engaging bit of audience participation, and the duo also offered an encore, by Astor Piazzolla. The stream is available for 72 hours.

Debussy: Rhapsodie for Saxophone and Orchestra (Arr.)
Brahms: Sonata in E-flat Major, Op. 120, No. 2 (Arr.)
R. Schumann: Fantasiestücke, Op. 73 (Arr.)
Say: Suite for Saxophone and Piano, Op. 55 (Sel.)
Yoshimatsu: Fuzzy Bird Sonata

Seiber: Fantasia Concertante.

The Casella VC was reason for playing this LP but it was the coupling that was to grab my attention. Seiber does enter the dark side (serialism, twelve-note etc) but for this conservative listener at no time did I find this off-putting, quite the opposite. I found the innovative Fantasia Concertante to be a force that refreshed my listening palate.
