What nevertheless does deject me is realising the extent to which decimating of the music's presentation by changes presumably designed to popularise, but which (as we have seen) merely serve to shrink Radio 3's serious listenership, actually discourage anyone searching for anything deeper in the music for which Radio 3 once acted as one trusted parent and guide.Follow that.
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.

Don't despair, Micky.
Does Tribune take a Summer break too?
Maybe we should take up teamsaint's Verklärte Nacht suggestion as a Recordings in Discussion topic sooner than later, using the Karajan version as the orchestral benchmark?

We've said it before, but it's worth repeating: often much more erudition and information in our own BaL threads than in many broadcasts.

In effect, over 30 or 40 years I was educated in advanced music at the tax payer's expense. I now ask myself how I could have acquired my level of knowledge without the expensive formal music college education expected of gifted children today, even leaving aside the motivation they would now need to take up music as a career, let alone a hobby, as it was for me and my generation.

La Tribune is indeed on holiday, but repeats from 2023 are being broadcast throughout the summer - the site tells you which programmes have been previously broadcast when you click on each programme. I am sure it will be back in the rentrée, beginning of September - the same usually goes for "En Piste!", the daily weekday programme equivalent to Record Review.
