The 'oh no not another thread' thread

[teamsaint]

No, I assumed an absence of research on the part of KD - it sounded to me as if she was reading out something that had very recently been put under her nose (per her experience as a newsreader) and adding the odd improvised aside plus giggles

There is no excuse in this kind of role for appearing to be under researched. KD is not the only culprit.

It is their JOB to present this music effectively. Their is even less excuse for crass and / or offensive comments.
A"less is more" approach to the Scriabin might have been more effective,perhaps?

We all make mistakes, but Thinking about what you are going to say ought to be helpful in avoiding giving offense to the audience. Not much to ask really.
