Private Passions

[Nick Armstrong]

Yes, and a good example of the value of extending the time slot to 90 minutes. The only good thing to come out of the April hash, sorry refresh?

Agreed

The episode with Thomas Ades was excellent. A guest with passionate enthusiasm for and deep knowledge of classical music.

I agree, but - as Michael Berkeley pointed out at the start of the programme - composers very rarely appear on PP.

I enjoy the abbreviations, but they do sometimes confuse me.

As always...

It's probably assumed that abbreviations same time. They really don't, much. And they don't even save trees any more!
