(Is "One o " a folk interpretation?)I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

And I'd want to know why I'd "only have time" to hear one! What's going to happen? (And, if what I think is going to happen is going to happen, can I have Ferrier, Patzak, Walter and the VPO in Das Lied von der Erde, instead, please.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

If push came to shove I'd take any of the chamber works over any of the symhonies or concertos any day of the week.

Richard Barrett
Going back a bit - I guess my favourite of the symphonies would probably be the Second, which as it happens I listened to some of the other day (in Gardiner's recording, which I prefer to Norrington for what it's worth - did someone suggest upthread that I might not have heard these recordings? heaven forfend! mind you I remember preferring Mackerras to either) although unfortunately my patience ran out early in the second movement. Which leads me to the observation that almost all the Brahms I like consists of the first movements of multi-movement works. I wonder why that should be.

Strewth, he'#s being a hyperactive pain this evening fronting the Skampa concert.
My recommendations would be, if I were the host: (1) Write a large sign to yourself saying 'SLOW DOWN' and have it immediately in front of you througout the broadcast; (2) If you want to get the best from your interviewee ask one carefully prepared question at a time, then shut up until s/he's replied. (I.e.Don't ask three or four at a go because you haven't thought through what you're asking.) (3) Avoid any temptation to ask the audience, in the middle of a programme about Brahms, whether they agree that Dvorak's melodies 'belong to us',to get them to shout 'Yes'. it's not panto, it's a Bath audience live on Radio Three. 'Another glass of Chardonnay, Tom?'
