I've REALLY enjoyed this morning's selection of pieces. A particular delight was Ava Gardner singing 'Can't help lovin' that man of mine' - rarely have I heard such a perfect match of voice and lyrics. (She was dubbed in the film of 'Show Boat' but it's her on the studio album).
Pleased to note that Petroc was quick to correct 'Wavvaly' to 'Waverley'.

I’m sure this has been debated ad nauseam. I’ve nothing against chanson. Far from it in fact. Why then do I always feel so gently mocked by Elizabeth Alker around this time each Saturday? I don’t mind what she plays. Again, far from it. I’m always up for new music. Not sure Je Ne Regrette Rien qualifies, but there we are. Chaque a son gout. Perhaps I had a teacher in the Infants with a similar voice. To Alker not Piaf. Pfft!

One of those "Well I never" moments this morning. Benjamin Britten singin' the blues (well strictly speaking writing for someone else to), made even more interesting for the happenstance back story that a listener provided - score left behind, found years later lying on the floor, etc.
Hadrian's Wall: Roman Wall Blues
Sorry can't give links/times, but it's on the listings.

Some people simply shouldn’t be allowed on air. This morning we had a reference to an “American expresso maker”.
Mind you Petroc’s faux pas yesterday capped that one, when introducing the hybrid Prom. The first item was taken from a Barbirolli concert that had included “Elgar’s Oboe Concerto” with Evelyn Rothwell. He did get it right later, but didn’t acknowledge the earlier blunder.
