In succession I listened to: David Own Norris - Perfect Pianists at the BBC Roy Orbison and Friends: a Black & White night 30 The Man Who Brought the Blues To Britain: Big Bill Broonzy Pink Floyd Beginnings 1967-1972 About 4 hours of wonderful music. I thought to myself afterwards: Where else could I get such varied riches? The Beeb may not be quite what it was in its heyday, but it can still turn out some wonders, including (from these programmes): Murray Perahia playing Scarlatti's G Major sonata James Burton producing blistering solos for Orbison Big Bill playing in a seminal film in Belgium Yea! |
