Boring music - 3

There were technical problems on R3 a couple of mornings ago (Rob Cowan had a puncture on his way to work, perhaps?), and it was wonderful.  Somebody with a deep gravelly voice introduced some Bach, and then let Bach get on with it, without being interrupted by trails or the insipid e-mails people issue when stuck in traffic jams.  It was a shame when 'normal' service was resumed, and we were back with Interactive Radio Three, ba-boom, Shazam.


What utter, utter crap the Third Programme has become.


And talking of utter crap, thank you to a few sane people who worked out my e-mail address and said 'thanks for the Schubert piece - it really is terrible, isn't it?'


Yes, it is.


Next time: more horrors from the 'it's classical, therefore it must be good' ethos - VW's sickly 'Serenade to Music', with a review by none other than St Cecilia herself.
