I've always been fascinated by familiarity, expectation, and their effect on musical response. When that Saint-Saens adagio comes on, or that Brahms one, I'm surprised how very moving they can be, precisely because I don't expect them...
It feels like a very different musical pleasure from hearing each in its symphonic context, but a no less "valid" or personally important one...
So a similar programme to Myleene Klass, but with far less familiar rep, could be very rewarding indeed.... it won't be just the onions that bring on the tears..... The Cats might have to be even more patient, though....
