If I want to hear it now, I'd rather go back to Grandmaster Flash and crew. Anyway, will give this another go on the i-player to see if I can get more out of it, like cavatina.
    I too heard it in the car, and thought it decidedly MOTR.

      in the old place quite a few of us helped you to buy and set up a turntable set up - or at least we gave you some advice about possibilities.

      Please do NOT practice the techniques for the Prokofiev concerto on that set up. If you MUST, then buy an old turntable from a car boot sale, and use old LPs (unwanted!) from charity shops!

        Indeed you did! And I wouldn't dream of putting it to such a use. I'm still astonished that the nondescript piece of rubber band stretched round the turntable regulates the speed so efficiently.
        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.

          If Norrington had conducted, would he have asked the DJ to play the turntables without vibrato?
          "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

            Or, as Miles Davis's trumpet teacher advised him: "Don't use vibrato. You got plenty time to shake when you get old"

              Surely you have to start from scratch! (I've already got my coat)
