Yes, I have been interviewed and on quite a number of occasions by BBC
Radio 4 during the years 1977-83 and I guess enough time has passed to
tell this story!
I was called for interview on the subject of digital watches etc. making
noises during concerts and the serious difficulties that this causes
engineers when trying to make live recordings. As I am not a technician
I took Tony Faulkner with me to join in the interview.
When it was over the BBC interviewer asked me if there were any
personalities in London who could be interviewed. I replied, yes, Joshua
Rifkin, pointing out that he'd just won the Gramophone Choral Award for
his B minor Mass (Nonesuch - of which I was the distributor). I duly put
Rifikin in touch with her.
The next thing I heard - they had married!
