Cor, talk about those shuddering coincidences. I was sitting in me garden one morning in a rare burst of late October sun about three weeks ago, listening to Radio 3, when I heard a record that was so good that I immediately went and bought it there and then. I just never do that sort of thing... Beethoven's Emperor Concerto, Stephen Bishop-Kovacevich, Colin Davis! I knew Fred only from his erudite and fair-minded posts on Mudcat, but, from now on, when I play that CD, I shall raise a glass in my head to Fred. If the sun's below the yardarm, it'll be a real glass! :-)
