Quite taken with this unintroduced collection of, well, Words & Music.

A nice way of winding down of a Sunday night that avoids the blood pressure being raised by the platitudes of 'Something Understood'.

Ah, ginge - I never thought of looking here for a discussion of W&M. One day I might be bright enough to make the link between Words and Spoken Word...

Anyway, as I said in a post somewhere else here, a simply marvellous programme. Just a bit too soothing and relaxing at that time of night, after a good dinner and a few glasses. I'm used to being kept awake by Kershaw!

Very good Words and Music programme last night (6 May), focussing on readings from Dante's The Divine Comedy. There were extracts from different translations, as well as other poetry from various centuries heavily inspired by Dante. A good selection of music, too. This programme works very well; it's becoming a 'must listen' slot. Warmly recommended - check  out this link which provides an introduction from the producer as well as a playlist.

Did people see June 3rd program? It was difficult for me. I liked it, but I did not know what music is being played. I would prefer they announce what is being played.
Otherwise it was interesting.
Do people have different opinion? Was anybody interested to hear that?

I sympathise with the view about not knowing what music is broadcast but think that spoken introductions would spoil the atmosphere that these programmes generate. The information is available online of course if one can remember where the piece that particularly impressed was played ! I suppose those who aren't online have to write in for info ?

Thanks BobbyZ. I enjoyed the program very much. I should listen to it again.
I am still teaching. Today I am starting at 12. I have a good violin player to record something for applying for summer school I think.
The idea of the show was good. I liked it. Poetry about London. I would never thought of anything like that. I understood a lot, but somethings I did not. I really should listen again. May be later today.

I Listened Again to the Venice programme three times. If they put it out on CD, I'd buy 10 copies and give 9 to my friends. Simply superb.
