    Trevor Peacock on Private Passions 11.3.12

    What a great programme this is - the engaging, unassuming, funny and civilised actor with a wonderful selection of music. Recommended! (And it identified a tune my dad always used to whistle, and which transports me back to childhood in an instant, as "Dick's Maggot" from Ernest Tomlinson's First Suite of English Folk-Dances! )
    "...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..."

    Did he bring any of Jim Trott's favourite sarnies?

    Are you sure it was 'Dick's Maggot' and no ' Deux Magots' Calibs?

      Definitely Dick's Maggot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPMlsaWOrZ0

      Paris cropped up with the theme music from "M. Hulot's Holiday"... a delightful piece called "Quel temps fait-il à Paris?"... Good trivia knowledge that, one for the AA thread once everyone's forgotten about it

      Jim T did feature in an amusing anecdote...

        Well done Dick - what a smashing choon

          Great isn't it! Good old Aged P... will have to send him the link

          It's up there with Fauré in his 'Dolly Suite' vein: just great music, never mind about the 'Light Music' label!

            I enjoyed this edition very much. T P's feelings about, and reaction to, the Tallis Fantasia are very similar to mine. (But who decided to play only part of it? )

              thought it was more than usually interesting; HB going on about silences ... actually seemed more like timing to our ears [and especially for an old stager] ... and any one who gets Miles Davis with Gil Evans is cool ...
              According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

                  OT - Some friends and I went for a week to St Marc sur Mer a couple or three years ago and stayed at the Hotel de la Plage. Wonderful noise of the tide coming in, just like the soundtrack of the film, listened to going to sleep and waking up.

                  The interior shots weren't made in the hotel. However, since our trip, the hotel's been bought and zhuzhed up.

                  Réservez une chambre vue mer au Best Western Hôtel de la Plage à 5 mn en voiture de Pornichet, la Baule et sa baie la plus grande d'Europe.


                  PS It must have been five or six years ago

                    But do you, like me and no doubt others of my age, still have to be sitting comfortably with your mother before you begin listening to it?
