They also have total control over the world's largest music festival, the BBC Promenade Concerts. <BR/><BR/>Those are the most comprehensive classical music resources in the world. Surely, with those available, they could have come up with some imaginative programming to showcase the Elgar anniversary?Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-46921649706619311432007-06-05T12:49:00.000+01:002007-06-05T12:49:00.000+01:00To be fair to the BBC, they broadcast the major co...To be fair to the BBC, they broadcast the major concerts on offer. The programming for the orchestral concerts broadcast was that of the Philharmonia, not the BBC. And although the Philharmonia's programming was perhaps quite conventional, nonetheless the quality was magnificent and they certainly took the programmes to all parts of the country.Edward Knightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366687387144174603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-54204976256955311002007-06-04T11:09:00.000+01:002007-06-04T11:09:00.000+01:00Another email ...
