Hasn't apologising gone out of fashion? What you describe is exactly what one gets from MPs, companies one complains to and so on ad infinitum.

Except for the exaggerated apologies which seem to come from politicians these days: "I want to say sorry. We really let you down etc", often over some historical event. Completely insincere, of course.

Sadly not ...one of the rare occasions when one movement would have sufficed.

Don't knock it if it's a FW - OK they could've played VC2 instead ! Bet there are BCs in the guest spot!

Speaking to Irish friends from a broad range of backgrounds, it's clear that HMQ's 'apology' on her recent visit to Ireland was taken as sincerely meant and that it has brought about a quiet revolution in attitudes in both countries

RC actually said, immediately afterwards, 'I really must play the second concerto some time' (assuming he's allowed to?)

SR has just played Night on a Bare Mountain. Nice to hear that for a change.

Yes, Domeyhead, that titfer belongs right here with the rest of us (not so) quietly simmering curmudgeons.

Welcome!

they play that short ride in a fast car a good deal more often than it deserves , IMHO.

I haven't noticed it done on this board, but we could surely do with a space for people to suggest works/performances that could do with an airing......maybe even a time/programme/context in which they would flourish.
you never know, somebody at R3 might notice and do something.
The wealth of knowledge among board members is a very valuable resource.(don't include myself in that !!)

should I start a thread on this?

[antongould]

why not indeed - although it may have been tried before

Short ride in a fast machine, please.

It got cancelled from the Proms twice. Once when Dodi and his doxie bought it, and then again after 9/11.

i think you should do it. I don't know my stuff well enough, the thread needs gravitas !!

I suggest , as a guide, 1 work per post, 1 post per member per day.
specific recording and alternative where possible, and, if needed, a suggested place in the schedule.

Oh, and a £5 amazon voucher for each recommendation taken up, for the saving in BBC research cost !!
