Welcome to the first Slipped Disc Backchat podcast with Rainer and Norman in which we pick out some of the stories that have caught our eye this week. On the show we look ahead to Arts Council funding cuts, we share our Alfred Brendel stories, we look forward to sing-a-long-a Dirty Dancing at the Fairfield Hall Croydon, sympathize with the Sinfonietta Shizuoka and much more irreverent chat. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

God, who made the icing. Bake me another fine cake.

Rainer Hersch and Normal Lebrecht get together once a week to chat about all things classical music - reviews, news and interviews, with a dash of irreverent light-heartedness thrown in.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
