All I said was "Elgar at his most jingoistic". Which you confirm by saying "get over the text". <br /><br />Please remember this is a blog i.e. a personal weblog, it expresses my opinions and is personally hosted by me, and you are a guest here. Differing views are welcome, but language like "narrow and pompous self satisfied position" is not, particularly when it comes from an anonymous commenter.Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-19595901790253263882012-07-21T19:13:39.483+01:002012-07-21T19:13:39.483+01:00Jingoistic - defined as chauvinistic patriotism - ...Jingoistic - defined as chauvinistic patriotism - so are we nevcer ever able to listen to any work by Elgar or any other Nationalist composer if the work is so deemed. What a narrow and pompous self satisfied position to take. The Coronation Ode has some wonderful MUSIC in it - get over the text and context - it was written for a CORONATION after all. Likewise the Delius - criticised if he's cerebral but then criticised here if he's accessible. And has no composer ever written a commission - I'm no fan of Tippett as such but how about your favoured Britten and Gloriana then!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796782005917831269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-33757212714664514562012-07-19T22:02:35.126+01:002012-07-19T22:02:35.126+01:00Patrick, that's really nice, thanks.

He received payment for them Unique Interactive, an independent production company retained by BBC Online. <br /><br />One of those reviews currently appears on the BBC Radio 3 website - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/<br /><br />Outsourcing is a common practice at the BBC. It is also worth pointing out that Unique Interactive is a fully paid up member of the commercial-intermediary complex - http://www.ubcmedia.com/uniqueinteractive/news-and-case-studies/Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-49183104079624545882012-07-18T12:24:54.720+01:002012-07-18T12:24:54.720+01:00Andrew Mellor tweets - "@overgrownpath Good t...Andrew Mellor tweets - "@overgrownpath Good to get a link on your fine blog but should point out last time I contributed to BBCR3 was as a chorister 18 years ago".<br /><br />Which leaves me confused.
