Victoria Meakin is a weekend bussed-in presenter from other parts of BBC radio (actually, I suppose, a freelance who takes what she's offered). She it was who pronounced Boulez as Boolay - so take it from there.It 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.

Originally posted by CallMePaul View PostDid nobody else motice the massive boob made this morning by Victoria Meakin? She played a recording of La Donna e Mobile from Rigoletto and claimed it was by Tito Gobbi! OK he was born 100 years ago today as she stated, but he would never have sung a tenor aria - not in public anyway! How do BBC producers get away with this? Gobbi, of course, was a baritone and [I]La Donna e Mobile/I] is one of the main tenor showpieces in Italian opera! Someone needs shooting!
On Sunday, before she played Gobbi's Largo al Factotum, she said that she had "accidentally" played the wrong track the previous day, no attempt at an apology. In a way this was worse than the original mistake.
