I take your point. And I would not discriminate on a personal basis with a member of the family.

Nonetheless, it can happen that a family can fall into disrepute because of a few, and there were more than a few in this case.

There were undoubtedly decent Borgias, Mussolinis and Hitler...

Well, I must admit he doesn't look one bit happier than me.

Where is he now, anyway...?

Thank you for a lovely performance of Richard Simm's excellent arrangement of this piece.

Adding the tambourine is a nice touch. It's not in the score!

A brilliant classic.

Unnecessary confusion here.

The recording engineers, for whatever reason, have abandoned the all-too-common practice of muting the piano - which is usually a 9-foot grand - so that string players can be heard better.

The result is a recording which is actually closer to what a live performance wo...

He was fine once he stopped talking...

God bless Americans like this one.

Common sense, a passion for justice and excellent language skills.

This video ought to go viral, to remind the rest of the thinking population of America that they are not alone...

The prof said he'd heard it several times, and he seemed to think it was always the same person. If so, it's the yawner who's emotionally disturbed.

Nobody needs to yawn audibly like that. The professor was quite rightly objecting to the total lack of self-control which some people are brought up to think is universally acceptable. "Yawn outside!" obviously means "if you want to yawn noisily like that" - it seems clear that somebody had been...

Those who live by the compressor shall die by the compressor...

Seriously pal - that looks dangerous.

What if you're dreaming the world is coming to an end and you wake up like that - you might die of fright.

Just go to bed earlier.

Gerald Moore at his best.

Fischer-Dieskau isn't bad either...

Quite wonderful.

Just in case anybody's interested, her pianist is calmly achieving the impossible:

Playing all the notes, playing them faster than anybody else and somehow managing to create an incredible atmosphere as well.

I hope Norman realizes how lucky she is...
