    How else would you persuade anyone to listen?

    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.

      Today’s Early Music Show was no afternoon entertainment. Here was Inside Music if anybody at Radio3 needs to be reminded.

        The navigation didn't include 'The Organist Entertains' at 4pm though did it? Although I suppose that nice Mr Roderick William's slot could count as light entertainment.....

          Ironic(and sad) that something rather misleadingly (and misguidedly in my view)called a Show now stands out in th'increasing gloom as the kind of programme that R3 should be broadcasting.

            The Guardian

            Inside Music is shaping up to be an enjoyable addition to Saturday listening on Radio 3. Each week, a musician takes the listener inside several pieces, revealing why they are significant to them and how composers achieve those moments that stop you in your tracks. Conductor Nicholas Collon recently gave several interesting insights into music as diverse as Ravel’s La Valse and Haydn’s Symphony No 92. He also championed the music of Marie Jaëll (left), who – like so many female composers – has not had the recognition she deserves. See if you agree by catching the programme on iPlayer.

              Well if The Guardian's happy that's alright then isn't it....

                ...and Radio3's schedule page tells us:
                Franz Liszt
                Der Erlkonig
                Performer: Evgeny Kissin. Music Arranger: Franz Schubert.

                      I had no idea he was one of Claudio Abbado's successors...

                      The bit I heard was quite interesting too, I didn't know he'd been a player in Tennstedt's LPO, and the recollections of Klaus were touching. But odd to reminisce about an LPO/Tennstedt performance of Janacek's Sinfonietta, and then follow it with an extract - played by the VPO and Mackerras .... Why not use the live LPO/Tennstedt recording?
                      "...the isle is full of noises,
                      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                        indeed. No idea. One of my great regrets is that I only know KT from recordings - I was separated by sea from his heyday with the LPO.....

                          Hello Caliban,

                          I couldn't work out why it wasn't played either. An ideal segue missed!

                                He arguably made the most intelligent contributions to Any Questions this week.
