Alan Davey, new controller, R3

[french frank]

Sorry FF, must have missed that. In my defence, Your Honour, it does take a while for the BBCMM horse and cart to arrive here in Northumberland, and even longer for me to get around to reading it (at least it still is May!)

Heh, heh. It wasn't quite the 1st April http://www.for3.org/forums/showthrea...765#post479765

It seems I thought the Davey contribution was okay, less so Naughtie's. What does he listen to?

Doesn't give much away, except that he likes CDR and In Tune.

Must check - though my (I realise) ambiguous question referred to Mr Naughtie … ? ?

I included no quote, meaning my 'him' referred to the subject of the thread (I thought ).

This is the Radio Times Q&A http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-...your-questions

Interesting questions - absolutely reflecting the concerns of the dissidents. He is pretty cagey (wise man), but what we experience is not in keeping with what he says he wants. We should look for changes after the Proms - that's when major schedule changes often come.

He is cagey but not overly defensive, which, I think is a good sign. But no, we are not seeing too many changes yet, and this, although AD sounds proud, still looks more personality/celebrity orientated rather than experts’ contributions.

The Classical Voice this summer

Still, I am more hopeful than disappointed, so far.
