Debate: Barenboim on Desert Island Discs
Never too late to change?
Jamaica has lost its way since its progressive 1970s, and an air of fatalism hangs over reggae island.
Point; counterpoint
How does music make sense of our world? Hear more about the 2006 Reith Lecture themes and points for debate.
Richard Langham-Smith of The Open University asked if anyone had caught 2006 Reith Lecturer Daniel Barenboim on his related visit to Sue Lawley's music-and-memory programme.
I wonder if anyone heard Desert Island Discs today where Barenboim once again engaged with Sue Lawley, attempted to imitate the spoken voices of Janet Baker and Clifford Curzon, and chose his favourite, somewhat predicatable, favourite recordings? An interesting complement to the Reith Lectures, I thought.
Worth a 'listen again' ?
