Quite apart from the sentiments expressed the real news is that his cancer is no longer threatening to kill him.
Three cheers for HMQ's most unlikely court composer.

I must have missed it too. Max has a good many supporters here who I feel sure will be only too eager to join you in wishing him continued restored health.Originally posted by Stephen Whitaker View Post -
Too true Bryn! And thanks for this news Stephen Whitaker - I see Max quite often at Royal Academy of Music in London where he teaches and we have a nod in passing - I'm usually on my way to a masterclass or free concert given by some of RAM's students - I feel so bloody lucky to have largely free access to this wonderful centre of learning & creativity. Well done Max!Originally posted by Bryn View Post

Good to hear that the news he is on the mend is now in the public domain
I wonder what he REALLY said though ?
Having had conversations with him in the past about these things i'm always suspicious of the "spin" that the media put on things.....

One has to understand that Mr McGowan/Reiner Torheit has been carrying out a vendetta against FoR3 for years. He has no particular interest in children's radio (why nothing about Radio 4 dropping its children's programmes?) - and he has been told that right from Day One of our existence we have supported the idea of special programming for children on Radio 3 - and have submitted that view to the BBC Trust. But that isn't what he's aboutSir Peter is clearly right. Sadly fogeyish conservative organisations - such as the Friends of Radio Three, who revel in their unashamedly 'elitist" stance - do nothing to help. The nutcase woman in charge of that organisation even brays that she approves of BBC Radio 3 not producing a single program aimed at young people at all.
He's not above criticising R3 himself! He loves invective...
Haven't had time to read what Max has to say in the article.
