Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The BBC's desert island--subject of this three-CD compilation--must be a bit crowded by now. Sue Lawley has packed 550 people off with their gramophones and eight discs to meet the hordes despatched by Roy Plomley since the programme started in the 1940s. In her note, Sue Lawley writes: "to hear a piece of music that youlove, linked to an experience that belongs to someone else creates a link between you and the person who's chosen it". The BBC is evidently less impressed by this notion, since it does not let us know who chose what. The other odd thing about this selection of 30 of the anonymous castaways' choices is the lack of that familiar signature tune--not a seagull to be heard. But what you do get in the value-for-money set is three and three-quarter hours of some of the pieces you would probably have chosen for your turn on the island. There are no great surprises--you wouldn't expect to hear much Birtwistle blasting out from behind a palm tree--but there is certainly great potential for arguing over how to whittle down the 30 to eight for your own game of castaways. --Keith Clarke
