....but to what?

Lachenmann, but keep it to yourself.

Lachenmann, but keep it to yourself.

True - if they play Pression by Lachenmann that would be a new low !

Does that apply to people of all sexualities ?

And none?

....but to what?

Is it true that the great minds that brought us this torture are even now at work on a month of music for the zither?

Or was that just a bad dream?

Be careful what you wish for. I understand that, given that the audiance numbers for Radio 3 have increased so much with the new format- wall to wall film music, a quiz and Desert Island Discs section on EC, playschool presenters everywhere etc etc- the powers to be now intend to have a One Direction season to boost the figures even further. And if that works they intend to have a Bay City Rollers, and Spice Girls retrospective.

But don't worry. To balance things up the BBC intend to re-schedule Radio 2 and 3 with a large dose of Stockhausen, Boulez, etc....Should work wonders for their listener figures.

Inside information? The last published figures (for the last complete quarter) were a miserable 1.995m.

Yes, but what dasterdly horror will they fill the gaps with. If past experience is anything to go by, it wont be pleasant.

I hope it's not "pleasant"
There's a whole radio station devoted to that already

[HARRIET HAVARD]

To think that we used to rely on Radio 3 to set standards, not follow trends. Film music, the charts, crass celebrity choices. All very sad.

It was a bad dream. I understand it's to be a month of music for the Andean nose flute.

That's certainly a blow but not to be sniffed at

Shorely shome mishtake - must be the Classic FM Easy Listening Groove.

Be good to see a few journos get hold of this - Ms Reynolds perhaps.
