I was fascinated to read this on Damian Thompson's latest blog on the Torygraph site:
"Radio 3 under Roger Wright has, miraculously for the Beeb, preserved most of its authentic ethos; presenters such as Petroc Trelawny are the apostolic successors to the late Cormac Rigby and other mighty figures. Rarely does it put a foot wrong."
The rest of the item is about Catherine Bott leaving R3 but it took me a while to get to that bit after a fit of apoplectic spluttering having read that first line!
But it's another point of view…..
The blog's here: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/da...n-corner-shop/ and the relevant bit is under the heading "National treasure jumps ship"

Mr Thompson is certainly a fan of Our Petroc. Seems like they're buddies, too. Perhaps Our Damian wants to be asked back to do some Free Thinking ...
I have to admit that I have met Petroc and he is indeed charming. Good teeth. Pity about the programme.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.

At least they've heard of Cormac Rigby. I was talking to a BBC Autumnwatch researcher a few years ago and asked her how Tony Soper was these days (I'd worked with him on an episode of "Wildtrack" in the 1980s). She'd never heard of him.

I have to say that I agree with you. The Takacs playing Britten would have been good to hear, but obviously it had to yield to a twee Bob Chilcott carol because the latter was at number 2 (and because SMP didn't want to frighten people with a difficult Britten String Quartet movement, obviously). SMP's excuse for breaking her self-imposed rule not to play any Christmas music in November smacked of protesting far too much. And in a Tasmin Little disc including Moeran's Violin Concerto, Delius's Legend and Holst's Song of the Night, why go for Elgar's Salut d'Amour (or was it Chanson de Matin?) I'm afraid this typifies SMP's tenure on Breakfast.
