I just hope that the MORONs in RTE leave Thurston alone and don't decide to drop his programme, I don't trust them

Totally agreed.

from what I've heard, I also certainly prefer Purcell to Rameau, however the latter, with patience, may still grow on me...

Or indeed, The Essential Purcell from Hyperion. I'd post a pic, but I'm on the phone so couldn't be arsed!
