That was my first reaction, but I was wrong. Maestro, last night at 9pm on BBC2 was much more than that.
An hour and half flew by, and I'm not the greatest classical music fan by any stretch of the imagination.
I recognised all the tunes, but didnt know them by name or composer, just from the various TV add that they were used in.
I was with Bradly Walsh when he asked, 'What does a conducter do?'
As far as I could see they did nothing but wave their arms about, and the musiciuans were looking at their music sheets so how could the conducter have any effect on what they did?
It soon became clear that the conducter was an integral part of the orchestra.
And when it came down to the vote off, they made the right choice. Peter Snow brought the orchestra to a stand still and made an up beat peice of music resemble a funeral march.
My money ois on Goldi or Jane Asher to win this.
Looking forward to the next installment.
