Saturday Classics, James Jolly at 3pm on the 5th May R3

[salymap]

James Jolly chooses from some of his favourite recordings from the legacy of Finnish conductor, Paavo Berglund, who died in January, aged 82.
Berglund's 60 year old career saw him take the helm of some of Europe's best orchestras.

There will be chunks!

The playlist says: 'Timings are shown as time of the day.' This is much better for the advance listings than the timings from the beginning of the programme.

Pity that in practice there aren't any timings at all.

The Berglund theme is a good one, but four single movements, plus Finlandia and Vltava, lessen the interest a bit.

Oh I didn't see this, at least there are a few moments of Paul Tortelier

A disappointing programme - far too 'bitty' and I lost interest half-way through. Berglund deserves an in-depth programme, with contributions from people who played with/under him and even perhaps a work or two from the BBC Archives. The programme that was offered could have been given by anyone really. What has happened to the 'From the Archives' series?

There will be chunks!

At the time Jim was championing Paavo
I was too busy saying things like bravo
Enjoying the thrill
Scoreline two - nil
Taking the Owls clear away from the guava!

Well done Sheffield Wednesday
