Tomorrow super-twin powers BBC Radio 3 + Norman Lebrecht will discuss some of those delightful blights of the classical music industry's bid for crossover that have plagued the consumers' set lists, by grilling some of the masterminds behind the contracts, and uncovering the reasons to why they were ever produced.
Many of the selections will be taken from Carissimo Norman(o)'s latest book, "Maestros, Masterpieces and Madness: The Secret Life and Shameful Death of the Classical Record Industry", specifically the awesome and entertaining addendum of the "20 Worst Recordings Ever Made"...which kept OC equally entertained and equally in awe of Uncle Normy's unwavering insights.
Titled, "Is This A Record?", the program(me) airs tomorrow on Radio 3 at 12:15 GMT...and lowhighlights will include Barbra Streisand, Neil Sedaka, and Pavarotti's duet with Frank Sinatra.
