One logical response to this dictum of the Trust's (if indeed it can be interpreted that way) is: Why isn't the brief of, say, R1 being widened to include, say, Tallis?
(I know it's an old argument. But it still stands.)
And - I may be daft - but I still honestly don't see how 'switching', 9 ams, Today, Suchet, 'Collections', stopping audiences from doing something, making audiences do something, Classic FM, markets and the rest can possibly change the note row that makes, say, Berg's Violin Concerto such wonderful music.
Don't people want to hear the music and concentrate on what it has to offer? Are they really taken in by all the packaging?
Really?
It may be convenience for radio controllers to tell us they are.
But how is the music any different when it's performed under one set of circumstances from under another: once the first note begins, the rest is irrelevant.
