Hi Alan, please don't worry. I blog myself and have done exactly the same. I was just saying that I enjoy watching David H's videos because he's witty - often laugh out loud funny - and says what he means. He's turned into a consummate entertainer. He can be very bracing (i.e. wrong) - as in his extremely negative views of lieder, lieder singing, Hugo Wolf and Wagner operas - but he often hits on truths. And he champions a fair few unsung composers, from Raff to Carlos Chavez. His tendency to give Naxos and BIS a largely free pass is interesting though, especially given his links to them.

Hello, long time reader, first time commenter. David Hurwitz - whose videos I've become slightly addicted to watching - has paid a lovely, personal tribute to George Lloyd today. He focused on the glorious 5th Symphony.
