@MannGeorgia @Spectator_LIFE @BBCRadio3 Hear hear! As someone who has devoted a lifetime to classical music, I’ve always believed its power lies in sharing it widely, not guarding it jealously. The greatest damage to classical music often comes from its own gatekeepers.

@stephenpollard Morning Stephen. If someone waspishly suggests that my colleagues’ programmes are “unlistenably bad”, or implies our excellent presenters simply rehash Wikipedia, I make no apology for pointing out that listener figures have risen and that our output is rigorously researched.

This made me so sad. 👇 How on earth did we get to a stage where Art History is deemed so lowly and unimportant and unnecessary that only 800 people a year take thé A-level! Madness. It’s the human story. Frôm thé very beginning. Before there were words, there was art.

Way Back Wednesday to LIFEM24 when @erikbosgraaf and filobarocco turned expectations upside down with a rendition of Telemann’s writing, inspired by 18th Century Polish folk music. With imagination and virtuosity, they revealed just how surprising early music instruments can be!

Peter Mandelson’s had a torrid few days, hounded on his doorstep by the Daily Mirror press pack, so naturally, he took a little breather with Prince Andrew at Pizza Express. {satire}
