"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

I suspect some of the recent posts about the new Berlin Phil/K-Petrenko set are just a little tongue-in-cheek , but here's the beef anyway......
Qobuz have it up, but only for download so far....

His ramblings remind me of those posts on Facebook where the writer is too lazy to capitalise, punctuate or use proper sentences. I invariably ignore them.

Originally posted by french frank View PostDo you pause to wonder how can it be that (apparently) so many people think differently? I would, though I have no feelings one way or the other as Radio 3 is now a quietly closed book. Alternatives available
But there's nothing like repeated criticism of what seems to me an undeserving target to inspire me to stand up for them - for the underdog, contextual or otherwise. Story of my life.
Anyway, why do YOU repeatedly want to get at ME for MY subjective view..?
"Jayne Lee Wilson writes..."...."This Liverpool Bastard..." makes it mind-numbingly clear that it is what it is....
Does one really have to add IMHO, subjectively, etc etc to every post? Oh come on now.

And there's still much to enjoy on Radio 3. Not a closed book for me. Suppose I said "how dare you have an opinion on something you don't even listen to"...
Would make as much or as little sense as your comment above....but of course I wouldn't say it except for the sake of this tiresome argument.

Originally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View PostJayne, you have every right to stick up for TS, but if others think differently, that's fine also. We all (including Mr S) have opinions, and you express yours with a superb command of the English language. I wish I could express myself half as well. But there are always going to be differences of opinion about composers, musicians, performance styles and Radio 3 presenters. That's what makes the forum strong. Long may it continue.
Absolutely, as I've always tried to express with as much generosity of spirit as I can find in my own soul, and as I've attempted to do again and defend in principle and practice again above.........if I ever give the wrong impression...well, I'm all too infallibly human in that...and like many people much more on edge in these trying times.......Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 09-11-20, 17:32.
