How odd. I'm sitting in a cafe on the Oxford Road in Manchester and I've just gone to the BBC website to download the latest Beethoven symphonies, numbers 7 and 8. I glance out of the window and realise I'm opposite the BBC. On top of the building is a hoarding which advertises the live performances in the Bridgewater Hall by the BBC Philharmonic under Gianandrea Noseda.
