Private Passions

[Pianorak]

. . . the last few Saturday Classics have been dire, yesterday, with Kathryn Stott . . . were, I think, awful and hackneyed. . .

Bydd yn ofalus! Lèse-majesté!

It was an excellent Private Passions last weekend with historian and biographer D.R. Thorpe (including the priceless RVW quote from a conversation at Charterhouse with a beak who asked him whether his 4th was triggered by forebodings about WW2 - the reply: 'No, I was just rather exercised by the Dorking by-pass' )...

And there should be more laughs in prospect this Sunday: Brian Blessed

Just bumping this, re: fun at noon

Listening now ...he's certainly on form! He's somehow managed to link a hushed invocation of a dream of going to Brazil with Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe (Le jour se lève).

The man surely needs a series -- we might even hear him singing Siegfried!
