My kind of chart
Apr. 14th, 2010 08:42 pmI rather like Elizabeth Mahoney's take on Radio 3's recent decision to broadcast the specialist classical chart:
I liked how unenthusiastic Rafferty and Cowan sounded about the chart-topper, Rieu's Forever Vienna, which has been number one for 15 weeks. "But there's something very special at number 10," Cowan said, leaping on to Mahler's Symphony No 2 with relief. "If you want to hear music that has the power to transform lives, then listen to this."
Which makes it sound like the chart is going to blend seamlessly into the rest of the station's output...
