Who knows? Radio 3 has always liked the quirky.

A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -

He does seem to have have had shades of Skellers who has on form again his morning. He mused that he seemed to remember Sibelius had conducted the Bournemouth SO and asked if anyone could confirm this. In short time full details of the event had arrived, but obviously not enough for IS who wanted to know what colour tie Jean was wearingOriginally posted by french frank View PostI think: "While never openly rebellious, he managed to suggest a quiet, disingenuous dissidence, mildly sending up the Radio 3 “grand manner” and himself with it." -

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

One has to ask how it is that a R3 presenter had to be told by a listener that there was a connection between Mendelssohn's "Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage" and Elgar's "Enigma Variations".
And the same presenter saying "In relation to the Liszt "St Francis preaching to the Birds" piece I just played, a listener has just tweeted (my empasis) in to say..." with nary a recognition of what she has just said.

Which of the likely ladies did the listener opt for, Bax - Lady Mary or Helen Jessie - who inspired Elgar's nostalgic throbbing engine ?Comment

Two notifications of a reference to the Exultait Singers this morning. I enjoyed the comment that the need to introduce Exsultate jubilate would be interesting
Ed: There was an almost immediate correction with an acknowledgement of uncertainty as to how it was pronounced.
