 | | Beginning this morning, BBC Breakfast News has been joining in the discussion about which of the six 2004 Gramophone Award winners should receive the prestigious title of Record of the Year. |
 | | Then tomorrow, BBC world affairs editor John Simpson will argue the case for two more discs — Gibbons' Consort for Viols, performed by the ensemble Phantasm, and a disc of the late Gérard Souzay singing French songs. |
 | | Finally, on Friday, the politician Michael Portillo will argue for the final two, one of which is the set he is championing, Vernon Handley’s new recording of the complete symphonies of Bax, the other being the piano concertos of Grieg and Schumann, performed by Leif Ove Andsnes. |
