Guess I was expecting balalaikan virtuosity, whereas it turned out to be a suburban - there I go again, the snob - singalong. Their Danse Macabre wasn't great, either.<br /><br />Ah well, can't win 'em all.<br /><br />Is this possible, the rumour on Parterre about the death of great Hildegard Behrens?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5295296336756910308.post-63508812310545480262009-08-19T00:06:10.141+01:002009-08-19T00:06:10.141+01:00You're not the target audience for R1, David, ...You're not the target audience for R1, David, and I don't think there's anything snobbish about saying so. <br /><br />We'll have to have a civilised falling out about the UOGB though- I adore them.jondrytayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07014577384156823525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5295296336756910308.post-39022988557656673142009-08-18T23:59:47.828+01:002009-08-18T23:59:47.828+01:00Building a Library as musical wouldn't be a ba...Building a Library as musical wouldn't be a bad idea. After all, Alan Hollinghurst made a 'bright young man's BaL subject of a chapter in The Line of Beauty. As Strauss was the subject, I gulped to think it could have been me. But maybe that's just vanity and delusion.<br /><br />Oh dear, Radio 1...am I being snobbish? That, or more likely Radio 2, is where the middle of the road Ukulele Orchestra belongs.

You can see the whole show- if you really want to- online at the Radio 1 website.<br /><br />Now the Beeb has set a precedent though, I see no reason why it shouldn't extend to other stations.
