    Classic Quartets at the BBC

    Interesting programme on now, repeated at 20 past midnight tonight, and of course on iPlayer

    It was first on in March, but I couldn't find any mention of it on the Forum after a quick search.

    Entrancing Dvorak from an early manifestation of the Takacs, for instance...
    "...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..."

        Regardless of who's presenting, that is exactly what, er, we have suggested should be on television - regularly, to allow people to develop a taste for it. They could use New Generation Artists and I can't see that that would be among the most expensives types of programme. Could catch on like snooker did
        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.

          Snooker? What, at Sheffield's Crucible? OK - maybe better start off with Haydn's Seven Last Words, then, if someone could - er - "fix" that...
