The recordings were issued as part of the BBC's fantastic Beethoven season, which included the broadcast of his complete works on Radio 3 and some terrific television programmes.
This is what we in the UK pay our licence fees for, and I felt that this season well and truly earned my entire licence fee for 2005!
The record execs are (1) barmy, and (2) entirely unjustified in their attack on the Beeb.
What next, should we pay royalties to reveal news stories by word of mouth to our family and friends?
