But presumably our new leader is happy for them to be almost pleaded for as they are in Breakfast and EC? -
Not necessarily. The Sunday Times article which appeared last November just before AD took over suggested that he was not keen on the tweets &c. But there's the matter of the BBC brand, of the BBC's desire that all parts 'interact' with members of the public and make friends with themOriginally posted by antongould View Post
It would take a strong character not to go native pretty fast. This is where integrity comes in.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.Comment

Yes - a sort of modal Webern; gentle mobiles of sound rotating in time. Nice chap, too - taught Bryn Harrison.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

If anything there seem to be even more single movements this morning (not including such things as a very speedy Tchaikovsky, Serenade for strings, clocking in, apparently, at about 8 minutes).
Mikado overture, J Strauss II (at least they've stopped calling him Johann Sebastian Strauss
) Neue Pizzicato-Polka, Jeremiah Clarke's Trumpet voluntary, Grand March from Aida, Soave sia il vento, and at least 7 single movements from Concertos, Symphonies and chamber works.
More than anything it demonstrates the impossibility of producing a decent 'Breakfast Show' (leaving presenters aside) which tries to have something for everyone. As one critic wrote: 'altogether too obliging'.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.Comment

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

This beggars belief - even for GBH I mean CBH; I'd struggle to imagine Classic FM accepting this kind of thing...Originally posted by Caliban View Post... and the ones she perpetrates. This came as close as anything ever has to making me regurgitate my eponymous breakfast:

seriously, I misread that. What nonsense. The dangers of speed reading techniques.
Of course it wasn't an enormous breakfast.
A little fruit, and a single shot of the finest Columbian, I imagine.
( would anybody like me to dig out my reworking of the lyrics to fool on the hill...... no probably best not....)I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

I'm sorry, Caliban, but imposing this type of revelation on forumites is likely to cause us serious mental health problems. PLEASE - no more.Originally posted by Caliban View Post... and the ones she perpetrates. This came as close as anything ever has to making me regurgitate my eponymous breakfast:
