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

Did he? I heard it (PT on iPlayer), beginning and end, as Michelangeli? c 4 mins of H. Birtwistle, and oh, by the way, you can hear … in other words, a plug for Ess. Cla. [And c 4 mins of Ferney Ferneyhough too. Will he be the guest next week or something?]]Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostArturo Benedetti MichelangeloIt 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

I was listening. If he had introduced the pianist as 'Michelangelo', I'm sure I would have noticed. It's possible, I suppose, that he said 'Michelangelo' at another point in the programme (which featured 3 pianists with birthdays today), in which case it was a slip of the tongue. Nobody's perfect.Originally posted by french frank View Post
Ferneyhough on Breakfast must surely be a first, and nicely preceded by the Tye Dum Transisset from which he drew inspiration.Comment

In the only fragment of the programme I heard (walking out of the font door) he said something about well we've heard [?] Alfred Brendel and Arturo Benedetti Michelangelo [sic], now were going to hear [?]Pollini, or words to that effect. With that ringing in my ears, I left for TescoOriginally posted by french frank View Post

Quite right. Some while later, just before he played the Schumann Arabeske, Pollini - he said Michelangelo. But he definitely got it right, twice, when he was announcing the Brahms earlierOriginally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostIn the only fragment of the programme I heard (walking out of the font door) he said something about well we've heard [?] Alfred Brendel and Arturo Benedetti Michelangelo [sic], now were going to hear [?]Pollini, or words to that effect.

I think I heard Skellers taking the Michael out of the Squire for having a meltdown at the end of Tuesday's(?) Breakfast after he had cycled back from Vienna ......Comment
