Maybe we were being unfair in our constant criticisms?
But, no, the criticisms are justified. This was quite dreadful.
Patronising drivel.
"Thank you for your tweets and text messages" and "Thank you for your excellent company".
How can the listeners be excellent company when we are stuck at home and Clemency Burton-Hill is stuck in a Radio 3 studio?
Do they assume we are stupid?
And then the trailers.
Is it getting even worse?
Hence culture being marginalised or "dumbed down". Which sounds like a gross generalisation, but seems a fair assessment to me.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

It all rather begs the question "what is Soileduk anagram of or acronym for"?
I mean, people tell me that spending time on a radio 3 forum is a bit odd * but i didn't think I would encounter this kind of stuff.
* sad , envious people, of course.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

A listener disagreed: it was accessible and enjoyable and R3 is now his family's station of choice, including that of his children aged 8 and 5. None appears to know much about classical music. So it's official: Radio 3 IS for children, people who find grown-up programmes difficult and those who know nothing about classical music ... How are the mighty fallen!It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
