So excited for this encounter!

What a pleasure reminiscing Crazy Coqs with the charming ADAM COOPER

One vivid memory of the irrepressible SIR ROGER NORRINGTON who sadly passed this week. Arriving in his Prague hotel room for an interview he sang from the bathroom ‘what’s this’? ‘Vaughan Williams London Symphony’, I replied. ‘Good you can stay!’

As couplings go Tom Coult’s shadowy and bewitching Monologues for the Curious - premiering BBC Proms - and Mahler’s spookily nocturnal Seventh Symphony BBC Philharmonic Orchestra were made share space and sonority. Such programming makes THE PROMS utterly unique.

CLEO LAINE. One of the greats.

Mad about the lady. Snapshots from an extraordinary career when JANIE DEE joins me for TALKING POINT ⁦Crazy Coqs⁩ 13 September 2pm brasseriezedel.com/events/talking…

LEONARD BERNSTEIN enthusiasts watch this space… I’ve a new project in the pipeline (the pic is a detail from a treasured Snowden portrait)

INTER ALIA National Theatre Tremendous. My goodness Suzie Miller knows how to build a drama and lay bare the moral debate. An avalanche of a performance from Rosamund Pike Rosamund Pike Online

Mightily impressed with Kahchun Wong’s rapturous and very beautiful performance of Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony BBC Proms Halle Orchestra The farthest reaches of Royal Albert Hall resounded to its special effects and the great final hymn was heartstopping and then some👏🔔❤️

What a talent RYAN BANCROFT is. How he’s grown in his perceptions. His performance BBC Proms with BBC NOW of Mahler’s flabbergasting Third Symphony seemed to find its own space with the unfolding of every bar. Marvellous.

WE BEGIN AT THE END - another beautiful and poetic novel from Chris Whitaker. You’ll need tissues, boxes of tissues.
