Jane’s taste in music appear quite sophisticated, and extended to ‘modern’ songs like The Plougboy.
Despite my ISP problems this week, I had no problem hearing this broadcast.
Anyone had luck downloading programme ? I’d love to do so.
Jane Austen’s iPod is a delight, an ‘innocent diversion’ for Jane fans.
Thanks for heads up !

I really enjoyed the BBC programme especially hearing Dierdre LeFaye’s voice. Although I was able to listen to it, I didn’t see a way to download it. Has anyone been able to do that?

Are you not able to listen? I’m in Denmark and I have no problem hearing the show (but I don’t think I can download it).

I hope they release the play list, at least!

Looking forward to visiting the New York exhibit.

You have an amazing blog. I was delighted to receive the Jane Austen Handbook for Christmas!! It’s the perfect size for my hand bag, and a treasured resource I will refer to time and time again.

Wishing you a new year of joy and prosperity

Just finished listening to the broadcast, and it also features Dierdre Le Faye on the panel. It is beautifully put together. The presenter, Professor David Owen Norris of Southampton University was the pianist who played at the concert in Chawton Church during the New Directions Conference held at Chawton in July 2009 (I was one of the lucky ones to be in attendance). According to a link at NABMSA the music from that concert will be released as an Album in 2010 on the Toccota label. See here for an account of that concert: http://www.nabmsa.org/newsletters/Newsletterindex52.html )

Oh, thank you for the info!

It says, I quote:
“Jazz singer Gwyneth Herbert performs Austen’s favourite songs, with new piano and clarinet accompaniment by David Owen Norris.”

Jane Austen & Jazz… I couldn’t have dreamt of such a beautiful combination
