Eric S notapenguin's blog: "musicstuffs"

I try not to recommend individual broadcasts - especially ones I haven't finished listening to :) - in my blog (occasionally I have in my MySpace blog) - but there's a live broadcast of a very favorite piece of mine, the first of Sergei Prokofiev's two string quartets, on BBC Radio 3. It was broadcast on Tuesday 12/19 and will be in their archives until 12/26, can be accessed using the "Listen Again" menu if you have the Realplayer plugin or application (link rtsp://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/shows/rpms/radio3/lunchtimeconcerts_tue.rpm ). I have two commercial recordings of this piece and have heard others. Performance by the Psophos Quartet at Bridgewater Hall. (It was my favorite piece until "supplanted" by a few others, but is still up there ;) )
