Would a Host please add EMS before the date in the title?

Done.

Not sure I've got SA's gist in #2. But if I say a broom with a new head and a new handle is still the same broom...am I getting close?

Couperin's keyboard - is it still playable? I was only playing with semantics.

Delightful and extremely informative programme.

Carol Cerasi - born in Sweden of Turkish parents with French as first language - but British, of course.

Ye-e-es, but I thought the (usually excellent) talk:music ratio was a bit skewed. And I was slightly surprised to hear CC (did I hear correctly?) say that Couperin's keyboard oeuvres could be boring? Also, it's not usual in EMS to fade musical items. How odd. Anyway, good to hear some Kenneth Gilbert. IMVHO he doesn't 'lose the plot' with excessive rubato and ornamentation as some modern players do.
