Lots of the usual suspects; excessive amount of Mahler (but different conductors, so that's nice). I like Mahler, but I do wonder whether he really needs to have everything played.
Some I'm particularly interested in:
27th Jul: Hahn doing Beethoven's 1st, 5th and the violin concerto in D. Not that exciting, but I'd be interested to hear what she'll do with the 5th.
28th Jul: Stockhausen, Birtwhistle, Zimmerman
1 Aug: Silly, silly prom. Do the whole things or fuck off. I'm getting increasingly infuriated that Wagner or Berlioz are reduced to excerpts in bigger concert line-ups. It's not the Tristan overture (again) but it's still ridiculous.
6th Aug: Knussen, Abrahamsen, Bedford, Benjamin
9th Aug: Madfai/ Allami. I heard Allami recently, really good for someone far too young to be that good.
11th Aug: Ligeti! Langgaard! Sibelius 5!
17th Aug: Part's St John! I'll try quite hard indeed to make that one.
20th Aug: Cage, Cardew, Skempton, Feldman (!!!) - DEFINITELY nipping along for that.
2nd Sept: WF Bach, Arne, Perlegosi. Brilliant.
4th Sept: Young (ish) composers, done by the Ardittis. Brilliant.
Last night: wall to wall AIDS. Again.
