casapete Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Just a reminder that in some areas Sky Arts on Freeview has recently moved from channel 11 to channel 36, so maybe worth a check and possibly retuning your TV. ( Channel 11 is now Sky Mix.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Watched "Ennio the Maestro" yesterday and thought it was very good and interesting. There was a lot about his musical studies and how he became what he did. I think it is fair to say he was not considered a prodigy by most of his tutors and his route to "greatness" was not straight forward. Two and a half hours well spent I thought. It was free on my national tv channel so I'm no sure where you'd watch it, but it looks like it may be on amazon prime. Also looks like it can be rented several places.

Or the Queen channel, although they seem to have stopped showing every blo*dy Queen concert for whole evenings just lately. The Andre Rieu thing is unbelievably popular, but every time I’ve had the misfortune to see a clip of any of the shows on Sky Arts they all seem exactly the same, just a different setting. The massive audiences must mean he’s minted! Good luck to him, he seems to have found a massive market - seen adverts he’s doing a UK tour in 2024, with good tickets around the £150+ region. Given the size of the orchestra I reckon that’s not bad when compared to ticket prices these days for rock and pop bands with half a dozen musicians. Apparently a lot of people in the UK attend his gigs in Europe on a regular basis too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His management/legal team were also involved with Rieu. It looks like he has taken over that little niche. As with Last, he has a phenomenally devoted fanbase.

Mykesbass Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Just watched Respect on BBC2. Don't know if it will be on the iPlayer but highly recommended if it is. Jennifer Hudson as Aretha is excellent, the story absolutely heartbreaking, and a new star in the making, Skye Dakota Turner who played the young Aretha. Lovely references to Muscle Shoals, Jerry Wexler and the musicians. Loved it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s currently on iPlayer so going to fully watch it over the weekend. Sometimes the BBC only show movies for a limited time on iPlayer so would recommend watching it soon if it’s of interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
