THE TIMING of Daniel Barenboim's appearance on Sue Lawley's Desert Island Discs yesterday seems a little odd, following so soon after his recent series of Reith Lectures, which were also introduced by Sue Lawley on Radio 4.
Could this be an implicit admission that the five lectures, criticised as a rambling, badly researched stream of consciousness rather than a properly constructed argument, were a failure?
The conductor and pianist clearly had a slightly tetchy relationship with Lawley, who introduced the lectures and hosts Desert Island Discs.

 Sexuality row may be irresolvable, says ex-Archbishop - news from ekklesia
Father Hope, a deeply traditional Anglican on the Catholic wing of his church, said that he could see no way in which deep divisions on whether the church should recognise people in stable gay relationships could be resolved.
Talking to journalist Sue Lawley, he said that on this question, and on the issue of the ordination of women to the priesthood and episcopacy, he only heard “the same people repeating the same arguments over and over again”.
His own hope for the church’s future, he said, now lay in the local parish, where people were relatively unconcerned with these questions — being much more concerned with everyday issues of life and death, and questions of morality like world poverty or the war in Iraq.
