@marksandspencer there are 2 customer lifts at High Street Kensington branch. Nothing to say they’re not working until you’ve purchased your heavy food shopping when the asst cheerily announced ‘They’re both out of order’. Staff had no idea when they’d be fixed. Very poor service

@engcathedrals Why? I don't follow you but I am sure plenty of decent people do, who don't want to move platforms. If you think Bluesky is all sweetness and light, you have been misinformed, even if its users see themselves as holier than thou...

@rowenamezzo I remember your many tweets about your mum and know you’ll be feeling a huge loss still. I dread the day it happens. It can’t be long sadly as mum is 90. Mother’s Day is a mixed up thing!!

Shocked - shocked! - to learn that classical music orgs sometimes try to earn money rather than playing solely out of the goodness of their impeccably progressive hearts.

@classicjacko @stephenpollard Bland wittering and magazine style programming (so dire on Saturdays) may attract more listeners but how much they are really listening, or whether it’s just background noise? R3 should be lifting us to higher levels and that means not pandering to the lowest common denominator.

@stephenpollard Morning Stephen. If someone waspishly suggests that my colleagues’ programmes are “unlistenably bad”, or implies our excellent presenters simply rehash Wikipedia, I make no apology for pointing out that listener figures have risen and that our output is rigorously researched.

🎯 It drives me mad when @classicjacko responds - as he does here - by pointing to listener stats improving. The whole point of Radio 3 being funded by the licence fee is not to be bothered by those and compete with Classic FM. So the fact lots of people listen now to random extracts from pieces is not a good argument in its defence
Stephen Moss@StephenMossGdn

@holysmoke Replacing Record Review on Saturday morning with a random collection of tunes and interviews of wildly differing quality told us all we needed to know about the direction of Radio 3. The breakfast programme and Essential Classics are also unlistenably bad because of the wittering

I agree. Many excellent ones. Great? Ehhh. Hildegard? A different kind of great I guess… And it’s not because they were women. The vast majority of male composers have not been great. Given their obstacles, it’s statistically less likely as many women would have had the chance.

@musicandroots Amy Beach is good second division. There are no great female composers . Some could have been. Fanny Mendelssohn I think is the closest.

@musicandroots Went to a concert at the Wigmore some years ago. In the first half it was J C Bach. Really good; really enjoyable. In the second half they played Mozart. It blew the first half out of the water. Found myself asking why they had made us listen to J C Bach!!

When you’ve listened to as much classical music as I have, you start to realize why the canon is so small. Few composers have been consistently capable of composing something that really sticks in your mind and heart.

Rachmaninov played in Hastings twice. It's the first thing anyone tells you. What the Hastings International Piano Competition does with that legacy (and whether it can build the profile and reputation to match it) is a more complicated question.

@NoisyMV Just plain daft! I don’t care for much Brahms or Mendelssohn but I still acknowledge they are great composers

@sainsburys i have just been looking at your products containing Lobster. I was thinking of treating myself next week. Every one of these products contain alcohol. I cannot have alcohol. I have been sober for 30 years. Alcohol doesn't make anything more luxurious.
