The King Of Light Music

February 24th, 2008 by Russell Davies

Try as you might you can’t prevent this programme making you nostalgic for a time you don’t remember. A time when composers wouldn’t work until they had their tie on, when everyone seemed to smoke exotic Turkish cigarettes and when the BBC wrote long memos referring to everyone as ‘Mr’.  The voices are quaint but the music is belting. Nice music, nice people, niceness. What else could you want? MP3 here.

Presenter: Alistair Malloy
Listen: [MP3]

    I hijacked this one myself but you beat me to it. I found myself standing up for the dambusters’ march at the end…

    I now feel very, very homesick.
