An hour of great fun (if you like this sort of thing, that is)
The disc http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/r/Virgin/7307992
was reviewed awhile ago on CD Review. Andrew and his visiting reviewer agreed that this was one of those discs you might want to dip in but there was no logic to the programme and not really worth listening as a disc. There is also one blatant crossover which Andrew couldn’t fade out quickly enough as if to say ‘What have they done to our Purcell!?’
I wouldn’t disagree with any of these but it is most enjoyable to watch all the same.
Would anything like this ever happen in London, let alone being broadcast on the TV?
(Note: this may be one of those videos that Youtube deletes as soon as it catches it. Don’t leave it too long if you want to see it. Last accessed 16:10, 7/11)
