Here's hoping there'll be no mention of Nazis and ski clubs.

another Bridcut film, so no Service gabbling at us ? (if there ISN'T mention of Nazis and skis I'll eat my baton)

I think Tom has his go at it tomorrow on Music Matters.

Karajan's Myth and Magic

I don't know if this has been flagged up elsewhere, but John Bridcut's film is being shown on Friday 5th December at 7.30 on BBC4.

Karajan's Myth and Magic

Either way, I also strongly recommend a reading of Richard Osborne's biography, ' Herbert Von Karajan - A Life in Music' (Pimlico paperback, 1999) for enlightenment and deep pleasure over 850pp.

Also looking forward to John Bridcut's documentary.

Coincidentally, the documentary is now being discussed on Music Matters! Ta, ta!

I don't think it's a coincidence, more a seamless promotional campaign...

Was that seamless or shameless? Actually, fair enough, given that BBC4 has probably spent a bob or two on this programme. Not one to scour (or even open) the Radio Times, I was glad to be alerted to this on CD Review this morning. I just wish there were more programmes on TV featuring or discussing proper music. We are in thankful-for-small-mercies territory.

I approve of the youthful allusion and thank you! :)

keep wishing , Ards.

BBC1 , (for example) has a remit to show a mighty 40 hours of music and arts programmes per year.
