From Pli selonPli: a portrait of Mallarmé?

Abraham Lincoln? Plus Mayor La Guardia - of New York?
Erm.........??

Who the heck dreams this guff up?

[mercia]

I think Copland dreamt up the Lincoln guff
the second half was Elgar guff

And your point is, aka CdaJ?

Another promotional event aimed at the media. Doesn't mean that during the course of an entire day it couldn't produce some extremely interesting material - but what's the point if only Radio 3 listeners take any notice?

Alternatively, it could broadcast the best material in a single programme - or even in one of the occasional, now long-forgotten, 'evenings'.

I didn't listen to any of the Portraits stuff on R3 as it would obviously be awful

However I did try to start a Portraits thread for we non-gushers and it reached a measly 15 posts. There are some wonderful portraits about and it's interesting to hear of our favourites, I thought.
