    This is the current R3 marketing ploy - flogging Classical music as a meditative crutch. There are many interpretations of mindfulness, but I don't consider listening to music per se to be mindful - nor, I believe, did the Buddha! Just as the bathwater is not in itself immersive, nor is music mindful. Both require the actions of the bather or the meditator.

      It was - though without your post I would never have remembered. He worked for OUP (and didn't read The Times!).

        12-times winner Mark Goodliffe 'suffered a shock semi-final defeat' last year, but says he'll be back.

            Mildly ironic that on Breakfast yesterday - Squire Trelawny had a huge moan about how advertisements were taking over our everyday lives ….

              The Squire has been mentioned in numerous adverts on R4 in what appears to be a push to get more listeners to R3

                Yes at about ten to nine every day....as if Radio 4 doesn't want us to listen to what's on at nine - Thurs...In Our Time; Fri...Desert Island Discs - some justification there!

                  A couple of days ago I happened to switch the radio on when I came down for breakfast - I was not completely with it at the time - and in due course heard what I assume is the revised version of one of the ads, asserting that R3 is the home of live classical music [my bold although it was slightly stressed by the announcer]. Couldn't help thinking that it is convenient a) that 'live' no longer means what it used to and b) that they can get away with that claim as no-one else broadcasts live(as in not recorded in some way) classical music?

                    One wonders what the home of dead classical music would be like.
