What a great programme this is - the engaging, unassuming, funny and civilised actor with a wonderful selection of music. Recommended! (And it identified a tune my dad always used to whistle, and which transports me back to childhood in an instant, as "Dick's Maggot" from Ernest Tomlinson's First Suite of English Folk-Dances!
)

Are you sure it was 'Dick's Maggot' and no ' Deux Magots' Calibs?

Paris cropped up with the theme music from "M. Hulot's Holiday"... a delightful piece called "Quel temps fait-il à Paris?"... Good trivia knowledge that, one for the AA thread once everyone's forgotten about it
Jim T did feature in an amusing anecdote...

It's up there with Fauré in his 'Dolly Suite' vein: just great music, never mind about the 'Light Music' label!

I enjoyed this edition very much. T P's feelings about, and reaction to, the Tallis Fantasia are very similar to mine. (But who decided to play only part of it?)

thought it was more than usually interesting; HB going on about silences ... actually seemed more like timing to our ears [and especially for an old stager] ... and any one who gets Miles Davis with Gil Evans is cool ...
"Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.”

OT - Some friends and I went for a week to St Marc sur Mer a couple or three years ago and stayed at the Hotel de la Plage. Wonderful noise of the tide coming in, just like the soundtrack of the film, listened to going to sleep and waking up.
The interior shots weren't made in the hotel. However, since our trip, the hotel's been bought and zhuzhed up.

But do you, like me and no doubt others of my age, still have to be sitting comfortably with your mother before you begin listening to it?
