  1. A thousand thanks for bringing this to my attention! Finley was wonderful (I hope some excerpts will pop up on YT) as usual.

    1. You're welcome. I caught the end of each set. (Boy it's annoying to have to actually work at work!!) I heard a bit of the Schubert and most of the Mahler. It was wonderful. Mr. Finley is such a smooth suave singer. He gave us a truly frightening Erlkönig; and a fun "Lob des hohen Verstandes" (among other treasures!)

      According to BBC 3, the recital "will be available soon," presumably archived in iPlayer for a few days.

  2. Looking forward to hearing this when it turns up on iPlayer! (Yeah, working at work . . . it's a drag. I do too much not-working at work, which means that I am often working on weekends. It evens out eventually.)

    (This is earwormopera, btw: having some weird issues with blogger at the moment.)

    1. Hi! It's available now. "Weird issues with blogger" is kind of a redundant statement, but I don't feel motivated enough to switch to another site.
