Judy Dench, Concert Programme 9.20 this evening, has been the Virgin Mary, Sally Bowles, Lady Macbeth, Mother Courage, Lady Bracknell and Cleopatra in her 30plus years in theatre. Last year she directed “Much Ado About Nothing,” and she talks to David Roper about this change in her career.
“Gramophone” magazine critics chose Robert Shaw conducting the Atlanta Symphony Chorus and Orchestra in Verdi’s Requiem as the best choral recording of 1988. The recording is the first in a 14-programme series, The Award Winners 1988, Concert Programme 7 tomorrow evening. Special praise was given to the little-known soloists, and to Shaw’s “unforced, yet always accurate and noble reading.” Veteran tenor jazz saxophonist Illinois Jacquet leads his Big Band in the first segment of Jazz Scene, National Radio 9.05 tomorrow evening. Jacquet, known as a jazz soloist since the early 19405, established his band in 1983. The programme also has vocalist Michele Hendricks, and the Louie Bellson Quartet live from Chicago’s Jazz Showcase.
Fairyland and staid Victorian London meet on a 1958 recording now on compact disc. Hear April Cantelo, Monica Sinclair, Alexander Young and lan Wallace among the singers, and Sir Malcolm Sargent conducting the Pro Arte Orchestra and the Glyndeboume Festival Chorus in The Lighter Stage: “lolanthe,” Concert Programme 3.15 Saturday afternoon. G. and S. would have been amazed. James Homes
