I know dates generallly are included at the end of each item, but putting them in the title seems to me to give a better historical context. Could the dates of the reviews be included in the title?

I liked the little talks but a couple were a bit long for the youngest children. I thought Natalia informative, funny and charming. And a few youngsters were surprised how much they enjoyed the evening!

A piece can be enjoyed just for its sounds, but when a piece has context the sounds then carry meaning and the experience is heightened considerably. The discussions of the piece provided this context!! This enabled me to discern meaning in the music and i therefore enjoyed the pieces a lot more than i could ever enjoy purely sonically. I understand that to people more in the know about the pieces and the composers, these could be a little tedious, but considering that they were spoken with humour and character i find it hard to believe that people couldn't enjoy it. For me the overall effect of Natalia's speeches was that i enjoyed the music more...winner I think that context is vitally important to music.
