Simon Rattle - British Conductor

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Being repeated on one of those golden oldie channels. Can't stand it but Mrs KS loves it.

Classic telly like Please Sir as well

Which franchise did he work on? I guess being a scouser he had a choice between Virgin, Northern and TP.

Just spotted this thread.
Have we decided if Simon Rattle is better known than Jack from On the Buses and have more than 1% of real people heard of him?

Further evidence of how cultured this place is; I searched "Rattle" by title to see if there had been a previous thread about him and unearthed this:

which bird off the telly would you most like to rattle ?

christine bleakley, paddy bird off the one show, apparently now single

Never heard of either

Name me a better conductor from these Isles. I’ll wait.

Huge loss to the London Symphony Orchestra

Sir Simon Rattle will leave the LSO for Munich

The musician's departure is considered a blow for Britain's classical music scene.

Adrian Boult perhaps? Apparently his Elgar performances were best in class.

And incidentally, Andrew Preview's Royal Philharmonic version of Rachmaninov 2nd Symphony (Telarc) is bloody fantastic.
