Classic FM Hall of Fame
And so begins our Easter Weekend listening, wall to wall in this house.
Not being a purist I'm quite happy with film scores and video game themes but if that bloomin' bird wins again I will be demanding a public enquiry

My vote would always be for Borodin, Prince Igor, Polovstian Dances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsTVF0Fu5_c" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
That video is also a masterclass in conducting. So unlike our own dear Proms, I'm sorry to say ...

Oh how I hate that lark!!!
I'm very far from a purist too, but I do wish Classic FM would vary their repertoire a little more. It seems a constant diet of Hebrew Slaves, Tina Ting and Aled Jones!

Well the countdown is now in the fifties and the bird still hasn't trilled.

My son and his partner were staying for the weekend and told me early on that Classic FM had inadvertently revealed the result by saying of an early Vaughan Williams piece in the 200s somewhere "That's the only one of his 8 in the charts to have fallen this year...." Whoops!
It is ridiculously overhyped at many points (as if Beethoven and Mozart are personally slugging it out for supremacy!) but did provide some fabulous listening on our traditional Bank Holiday trip back along the M69 on Monday evening (Clue: mostly Beethoven !)
