Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakapuaki a Alan Davey i ngā raruraru o te mahi matua o te teihana i roto i tētahi uiuinga i runga i te hōtaka Whakaaro o Radio 4. Ko te kaiwhakahaere o BBC Radio 3 kua tapaina te hunga whakarongo he kuware, a, e kii ana kua kaha ake te wero o te puoro puoro tawhito. I whakapuakina e Alan Davey i runga i te tautohetohe nga uaua o te mahi matua o te teihana i roto i te uiuinga i runga i te hōtaka Whakautu a Radio 4. I pātai a Mr Davey mō ngā huringa ki te mātauranga puoro tawhito whānui i roto i ngā tau 30 kua hipa. Ka mea ia: 'Ki te titiro koe ki muri ki te Kaupapa Tuatoru (te ingoa taketake mo Radio 3), i kawea mai e ratou te ahurea teitei ki te hunga whakarongo nui engari ka taea e ratou te whakaaro kei te mohio katoa o ratou hunga whakarongo. 'Kāore e hiahiatia kia whakamāramahia ki a rātau ngā āhuatanga o te waiata tawhito. 'Kare pea te hunga whakarongo o nāianei e whiwhi i te mātauranga ōrite ki te waiata i roto i te kura, pērā i ētahi tau kua pahure ake nei - kāore i te ōrite tonu, ahakoa. "Tērā pea me tuku atu e mātou he whakamārama me te horopaki mō ngā mahi. 'Kāore e whakaheke i te paerewa, kāhore e hanga i te ihirangi kia māmā. Ko te mea nui ko te āhua o tātau whakaaturanga.' Ko Mr Davey, i tae noa ki Hanuere te tumuaki o Arts Council Ingarangi, i kii: 'E whakapono ana ahau he rereke nga huarahi hei kukume i te iwi ki te puoro. 'Kei reira te ara Classic FM, a he tino pai ratou i roto i taua. 'Ka whakaatuhia e mātou ētahi atu wāhanga roa, me ētahi atu momo kaituhi, ā, ka whakarato hoki mātou i ētahi atu momo waiata rerekē me te kōrero ahurea puta noa.' Kua whakawakia te teihana o te 'dumbing iho' i roto i te mua, rawa i muri i te puku i roto i te 2011 ki te hanga i te reira atu 'hohonu' ki te whakarongo whānui. I te tau kua hipa, i whakahē a Roger Wright (i runga ake nei) i te whakapae o te teihana kei te whakahawea. E rua miriona noa iho ngā kaiwhakarongo, ko Radio 3 te reo irirangi iti rawa o ngā teihana matua o te BBC. I te tau kua hipa, i whakahē a Roger Wright, te tīmatanga o Mr Davey, i ngā whakapae e 'katoa ana' ana te reo irirangi, ā, i kī he rereketanga nui i waenganui i ngā reo irirangi.
