I think this concert was the best I ever heard in my entire life. Period.

I thought Matthias Goerne's performance of Des Knaben Wunderhorn was a delight. I hope any aspiring young singer watched and heard him. What a beautiful quality of voice he possesses allied to a fantastic technique. Bless you BBC for relaying this and all the other Proms on TV.

Why do we keep getting Schoenberg's stupid version of the Brahms G Minor Quartet? Brahms wrote in a completely different way in chamber music, and to blow it up with an orchestra just sounds silly - nothing like the more expansive, cushioned writing that Brahms did when writing for orchestra. I'm sure he'd loathe it. Schoenberg may have had some fun with it, but to my ears it's just irritating. I'd a thousand times rather have the original - yes, in the Albert Hall!

It didn't take long to appreciate what appeared to be an entirely different sound produced by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony last night. The string sound was brighter and sweeter than many orchestral sounds we've heard this season, a real eye opener as to how a different sound really can represent a different part of western musical tradition.
