When such talented people execute something with this level of heart, soul and brilliance, music from the past seems to become real in this time and touches everyone. Even sitting in my flat on my grubby council estate, looking out onto the A40 from my windows covered in black soot from the pollution this completely takes me away. I suppose that is one of the aims of keeping this music alive. Stunning.

Emma is a friend. I agree with the bad recording...I met her for the first time, in 1984, when going to Turin to withdraw my first lute. She performed in a church, singing in the "Birthday Odeds for Queen Mary" by H. Purcell. And she has a painting I made!

So jazz has dynamism and strong sense of rhythm, does it. Well I find most jazz to be the same sounding, boring, meandering, going-nowhere twaddle! My vision of hell would be having to sit through jazz playing on a loop, whereas I am astounded at the sheer genius of any classical composer. What an idiotic comment!
