NWR Charles Morgan radio show at 5pm today

Thom Blach · Feb 28, 2021

On Omnium radio of Plymouth; who don't seem to be drawing attention to it on their website but I am reliably informed that if one presses the play button at the appropriate hour we'll be able to listen to Charles' classical music request show-I am all agog!

David Pope · Feb 28, 2021

Me too! I'll be listening.

Dan Baillie · Feb 28, 2021

Thanks for the tip! So good to hear him - obviously in his element.

David Pope · Feb 28, 2021

I'm loving it. The Trout Quintet. Mir ist so wunderbar from Fidelio. Vltava from Ma Vlast. All great stuff and some jokes at the expense of Charles' friends.

Dan Baillie · Feb 28, 2021

Love to know who the “Northern Rhone” heckler was!

David Pope · Feb 28, 2021

Yes, I'm wondering that. Probably someone from this board.

I choose to believe it was a below the belt dig at Phil Wilkins.

The show is available to listen to as a recording. Unbeknownst to him, Charles is presently helping me prepare my tomatoes and ramsons.

This was on the chat. Might give some clues.

Could we have the third of Schoenberg's Sechs Kleine Klavierstucke op 19 please, Charles? I'm afraid that even in 2021 people still find this music rather unpleasant but it's fantastically short.

What a delightful piece by Clive Jenkins, and how nice to know that he lived a profitable life after the time I used to enjoy his TV performances as general secretary of the ASTMS in the 1970s.

Watch it Mr Northern Rhone!

If we can't have Schoenberg can we have Rachmaninov's 'Polka De W.R', preferably played by Shura Cherkassky? if anyone doesn't like that they are a lemon!!

Above the belt, surely? Assuming conventional North/South alignment...

There are no coincidences, but I purchased a bottle of Chave Hermitage from Mr. Morgan a few years ago.
Edit.
The plot thickens. I note that a recently consumed Chave Hermitage '05 was purchased from a Forumite. In the circumstances, anonymity seems appropriate.

Glad to hear that Charles is thriving. If I could do anything post-Wine Pages, my own show on the radio would certainly be equal top of the list.
