Sunday afternoons have been improved lately by a series called Great Composers, narrated by Kenneth Branagh. So far we've had Bach, which I missed, Beethoven, Mozart and Wagner. They're not just a standard run through of greatest hits but occasionally spend some time on lesser-known music, eg Beethoven's Cantata on the Death of Joseph II, and there are also some unusual shots of places few of us would have visited such as the opera house in Riga. The Wagner program included a clip of a New York taxi driver who uses Wagner to relieve stress which leads nicely to the opening graphic over three yellow taxis driving towards you to the sound of The Ride of the Valkyries. A much more civilised memory than the helicopters in Apocalypse Now. Anyway, if they turn up on a station near you, they're worth your time. Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
