As a regular early morning listener - I'm just listening to the Skellers/Hendrix "show" as I type - I feel, like ff, it is moving in, what we see as the right direction.
On tweets etc. I, as I've said before, have no problem with them - in fact IS invited some suggesting pieces by composers that contain elements felt to be before their time and I found the responses interesting. As to the number they get he did say he had had "lots" from Hendrix fans asking for specific tracks - they got the put down I'm sure we feel they deserved - compare and contrast CBH's response to Ferry Across The Mersey.
As to short pieces I feel we are getting more and longer pieces of music and I think ff's regiment of statisticians proved this.
Taking the Skellers week he played a complete symphony, not Bruckner 8 but the full work and on Thursday I have just heard a Josef Suk piece running over 15 minutes ..... so a space to be watched in hope ....
