There's no indication on the schedule that this is a repeat: first broadcast 22 August 2011.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.

Indeed, ff - thank you - somebody has emailed me to tell me that what I was probably recalling was an early music programme a couple of years ago that featured The Earthquake and that a few of us enthused about.
So it's a first on CotW for Tomas - great stuff!

Not a first for Victoria, but it's certainly being presented as a first for these broadcasts. Both seem to follow V's career chronologically but last time it was in the company of Jeremy Summerly. The playlists for the two Episode 2s are quite different.Last edited by Guest; 19-08-11, 19:53.

As there appears to be more interest here than on the CotW board, I'm copying over the details of the individual programmes with quick links, since all the playlists have now been posted on the R3 website:

1/5. A Life in the Service of God: Donald Macleod focuses on the religious fervour of Victoria's life and music.
2/5. Childhood and Education: Victoria's early life in the city of Avila.
3/5. Finding Work: Victoria's search for work in Rome.
4/5. A Priest in Rome: Victoria finds work as a musician inseparable from being a priest.
5/5. Return to Spain: Why, at the height of his success, Victoria decided to return home.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.
