    Jessye Norman on HARDtalk (BBC News Channel)

    Worth a watch

    Born in the segregated US south, has Jessye Norman's success helped to tear down barriers?


    "They might write it, but - darling - I don't read it!"
    "...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..."

      So neither of you follow the "What are you listening to now" thread, eh?

      [Actually, bearing in mind the wording of this thread's title, I think Caliban probably does. ]

          No I hadn't seen your post there, in fact. (Curious to know what my thread title betrays about my following habits...! )

              "Jessye Norman on HARDTalk (BBC News)" [from What are you listening to now? #15577]

              "Jessye Norman on HARDtalk (BBC News Channel)" [Your thread title.]

              It was the use of the BBC's Upper case for "HARD", though I now note you opted for a lower case "t".
