I like to play Quilter’s own piano solo version of his Children’ Overture, and there’s a very good piano duet arrangement (not by RQ).

Unbelievably sad that even New Zealand cannot escape from the scourge of terrorism.

I don't know how long the team had to choose what to play and amend the running order.
(The Canteloube/Villa-Lobos arrived this morning!)

I do find EA rather difficult to listen to for any length of time without becoming a bit irritated at her somewhat breathless enthusiasm - I hope nobody will be too offended if I confess that the image that comes to mind is that of an eager puppy standing on its hind legs hoping that I will at least stroke it or (even better) offer it a tasty morsel or two.
Like Anton and Caliban, I much prefer, respectively, PT during the week and MH at the weekend.
I may have spotted - I hope mistakenly - a possible trend over the last couple of weeks, i.e. the inclusion of a greater number of 'popular classics' that can perhaps be best described as 'lollipops'....

I'm not overly keen on EA's rather breathy voice, but it's not stopped me listening yet; that might change though if she continues the drift to Miss Suzy's gushing...
