I watched the programme about pianist Nick Van Bloss on BBC2 Horizon programme and greatly enjoyed it, especially the works by Bach which he performed so well.

I have just spent an hour going round and round in circles on BBC websites trying to get a message through to them to ask if they could list the items he played. But their system is designed to take you round in circles and never let you through! The Horizon site does not help.

Does anyone happen to know what Nick was playing or what he was playing from? I would love to chase up one or two items and have a go at them myself.

It was a great programme, wasn't it? Only saw it by chance and it was fascinating.

Sorry can't help with the pieces though

The Bach sounded like a two part invention but I'm not sure cause they're sposed to be quite straight foward and his was clearly not! I think he played Flight of the Bumblebee and that modern stuff by the composer, which was actually quite good! Really enjoyed it, excellent programme, and I adored his playing!

I'm sure there was a bit of the Gigue from Partita No.4 in D, BWV 828.

One of them was the Prelude in G minor from the English Suite (Bach) I think........if I remember rightly....

Many thanks for your replies. I am now following them up.

I have also discovered the programme is available as a Podcast from the BBC if anyone is into this sort of thing.

It's infuriating isn't it? Have just had a look, and they tell you plenty about the programme, but not what he played.

I didn't see it but sounds like one I'm sorry to have missed.

I wonder if an e-mail to radio 3 would unearth someone who might know a way to get hold of a listing ? A bit of a long shot but you never know ...

Oooh thanks - that's useful to know
