This is a radio show… Radio 3 is dull and record review is one of the few highlights. It discusses new classical music releases with academics and musicians. If the whole schedule contained programmes of a similar nature with the odd concert the ratings would soar. Unlike modern music a lot of classical needs explanation, exegesis and education just playing whole chunks doesn’t help attract new listeners and neither does 3 hour concerts. I don’t want dumbing down but a wising up. So five stars for the show but only 3 stars for the whole radio station. Oddly, if it wasn’t for the late night discussion, art and drama I would be only giving it one point. It needs a new beginning along the lines I’ve mentioned. Going trendy with film and computer game music is a bit pathetic really.
