I've added my tribute to @HoddinottAlun, written for the opening of BBC Hoddinott Hall - with many added links and some music links (including too radio interviews with Alun) to my website. There's still some work to do but it's 99% there.

@britsymphcup @schottmusic @Mab_Taliesin @RVWSociety @rybergadams This one must go to the Welshman. It's a tremendous piece, absolutely deserving of a professional recording (I'm looking at you, @Rumongamba & @ChandosRecords) & a berth in the next round. Vote Painter! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Jeremy Huw Williams @JeremyHuw, baritone, sings John Keats' short poem, "I Had A Dove", set to music by the late great Welsh composer Alun Hoddinott @HoddinottAlun.
This poem is very poignantly meaningful, also about human cruelty.

Pears sang the lead in "St Nicholas" at University College Cardiff a few days after Britten's funeral. At the end of the performance, Pears raised the score as if to heaven with tears rolling down his face.

Rd 6 Match 12. Two from The Fifties today, & Walton’s immediately back again. This time with his Cello Concerto. It’s up against the Violin Concerto of Grace Williams. Will this be equally close? #britstringcup Listening links below ⬇️
