    Single movement from a Beethoven quartet this morning, is nothing immune from the SJ virus?

      I bought a copy of the Young Maverick from a German retailer. Magnificent record.

        This week's CotW features extracts from single movements of Mahler symphonies.

          I think given the format that’s unavoidable.Otherwise Wagner Bruckner and Mahler would never make it into the series. Even playing a whole Beethoven symphony would take up too much of the programme.

            CoTW is classified as a music documentary programme. I don’t think extracts were ever verboten.
            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.

              A I recall, though,they didn't use to talk over the music, as they do now. That's one reason why I usually switch it off , another being the 'Blue Peter ' style patronising tone to the listener : 'Let's join Maller (sic) in his little garden shed . Won't that be fun, children?'.
