    Thank you. I'm not very keen on intrusive sound in the garden and am glad my neighbours agree! However, I do enjoy relaxation using headphones.

        Hmm.
        Love Britten, but.....unless you've got a ten acre garden, isn;t that a teeny, teeny bit anti-social?

          But you are too polite.



          That's why never buy Bose, who advocate this kind of behaviour.

            When the kids two doors up play music in the evening and next door has Radio 4 on all day ...

              Just listening to it - has a more terrible French accent than Ms Jeal's been heard on radio ?

                Yes: Rob Cowan's!
                "...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..."

                  Rather a surprise winner - I much preferred the extracts from both Harper and Lott of the soprano versions.
