Originally posted by underthecountertenor View PostAgreed - but on that basis it’s even more telling that I occasionally turned from a Radio 3 CD Reviewer to him on a Saturday morning.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.

This morning we had Guerrero's excellent motet Maria Magdalene. Two or three times we were told only that it was a motet in praise of Mary Magdalen.

Maybe Suzy Klein could have read out the text instead of a few tweets?

I used to do long motorway journeys and couldn't listen to the radio - had to concentrate on the road. And as for those people who walk along the street having telephone conversations …
