Mark Elder interview

Very hurried post here - just on my way out to another committee meeting. But I've been meaning to post about this for days and haven't had time.

Graham E sent me an mp3 (7.4 MB) of a very interesting Mark Elder interview that was on the radio last week (Front Row, Radio 4, last Wednesday I think). Mainly about the change in the Hallé's fortunes since he took over, and how he did it, but he says some interesting things about singers at the end.

Simon from the Youth Choir wrote to tell me the same thing, and also helpfully pointed out a direct link to the whole programme online. Useful for those who can't download stuff. He adds "the interview begins approx. 6 1/2 mins into the programme & lasts for about 8 1/2 mins".

Thanks guys! (And it's good to know the HYC read this blog!)

Oh, btw, I found out about the Facial Urge Jamie thing. Will explain more tomorrow. But I should warn you, it's porn-related :p
