I heartily agree with Julian Lloyd Webber's article in the Times about the dearth of classical music on TV and radio. The Young Musician of the Year (or 2 years) showed that there is an audience just waiting for this music. Although some of the music was unfamiliar to me and not the sort I would La-La to these talented youngsters were a delight to watch and listen to.
I then switched to the Queen's 90th Birthday celebration. The Queen is almost as old as I am. Did she really enjoy the pop songs that accompanied the musical rides of her beloved horses? I found it quite incongruous. Where was the martial music? I know "pop" means popular but it was HER birthday we were celebrating.
