Hello Christina, thank you very much for the newsletters. Yes, I remember Nicholas and Alexandria. Recently I watched Fiddler on the Roof as well (BBC4). Both films are classics. Yes, I learnt about Bach (and much else) from the Open University. The Open University did and continues to do great programming. The roots of the present disasters in Gaza, Yemen and Syria lie in the antisemitism of that time and in the Holocaust.

Thank you for your kind words. Lovely that you remember Nicholas and Alexandra! And how wonderful to have had the opportunity to learn about Bach through the OU! It was a great privilege to share a platform with a world-class violinist last week (Fenella Humphreys), who played Bach's partita 2. Truly, a masterpiece.
