As it happens I do work for the BBC, but not the British Broadcasting Corporation, (another BBC entirely).

Would that be the Boxing Board of Control?

I'm obviously suffering from a serious bout of deja vu as I could have sworn that the Dvorak was played only a couple of weeks ago. Must be dreaming. The BBC wouldn't programme the same piece twice in amonth, not when there are literally thousands of symphonies out there, would they?

As you indicate, this was the lean, swift and radically refreshed Northern Sinfonia with Mario Venzago, one of the most interesting and creatively challenging of contemporary conductors. Don't fight it, feel it - go listen!
