A dispiritingly baggy, directionless three hours. IS sounds as if he's gamely pushing forward through waist-deep mud.

Originally posted by DracoM View PostBlimey, well, this morning's EssClass is, under IS, just absurd, as is his manner of talking to the audience as if it is in some kind of real 'care home radio' programme and he is 'our carer'. Embarrassingly awful.
I don't want radio presenters to 'talk down' or be 'my mate'. Just play the music and tell the audience a bit about it and also possibly something about the performers too.

Since 'EC' went even further off the rails (or downhill, if you prefer) the lady wife and I have discovered the joy of watching reruns of 'Frasier' on Channel 4. A similar outcome as far as Sunday Classics is concerned has led us to discover and enjoy Andrew Marr's interviewing skills on BBC1. In both cases, we're free to enjoy selected items from our CD collection plus other interests (gardening, walks, reading, Scrabble....) from 10.00 a.m. onwards.

So Skelly chooses the music, does he? Hmm.
Or me going to the Coop, to curate my shopping bag with a loaf of bread, fruit and vegetables, cheese, a bottle of wine, Oatly … yes, that will do for today.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.

Many thanks, I.S.
I missed it because I was playing in a morning concert battling through the very tricky piano part of the sublime, bewitching Viola Sonata by Rebecca Clarke , played beautifully by the young lady violist Alexandra Wakeling.
Incidentally it was played on R3 almost exactly a week ago by Lars Anders Tomter. I was quite surprised that this majestic piece elicited no comments at all by any of our boarders...Last edited by Tony Halstead; 30-01-18, 17:01.
