David Johnston, Harpenden, I watched the programme expecting it to be another awful version of the x-factor. Wow! How wrong I was! What a fantastic programme! These children are so brilliantly gifted. The saxophonist was mesmerizing; the violinists were wonderful; It’s great to see the BBC bringing such a varied delight of instruments into the world of Classical Music. I can’t wait to watch the following episodes.

Rachel Brookes, london, Oh why does it have to be Hazelwood, that supremely irritating ‘man of the people’ (via public school and oxford). Silly voice and his series on Tchaikovsky was full of daft conjuncture and interpretation.
