Settled down last night to watch England v Chile. The so-called - TopicsExpress



          

Settled down last night to watch England v Chile. The so-called pundits were giving it their usual guff (I had tuned in too early). So I flicked through the channels just in time to find this on BBC4: Avro Parts beautiful Requiem for Benjamin Britten, and an astonishing performance of Brittens violin concerto by the wonderful Dutch fiddle player Janine Jansen. Extraordinary. Tuned back later in to the drab England performance ... oh dear. Well at least Ireland got off to a good start under Martin ONeill with a 3-0 (friendly) win against Latvia, Arsenal are 2 points clear at the top, and Palermo (relegated last season) are in the automatic promotion places. Still a long way to go, I know ... Meahnwhile, here are Mr Britten and Ms Jansen to cheer you up - if you like this kind of thing. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03hj0xl/BBC_Proms_2013_Season_Britten_at_the_Proms/
