Twice this week thanks to Rachel's choices we have resorted to the dreaded bleeding movement from a work. Rach PC2 (it was inevitable this would turn up - but so soon! and VW3 - in a three hour programme as the parting item from a guest whty oh why could we not have the whole work?

There is another big 'cock-up' on the Essential Classics playlist from yesterday, apparently J Strauss II composed Ein Heldenleben!!! For Heaven's sake Roger just do one thing right and sack the staff who put the webpages together NOW!!! Then get some people in who actually know something about Classical music, as the webpages are a laughing stock.

Are you sure it's not the Brainteaser, Sc? Email in with the answer and you might win some CDs.
(Tell them it was J. Strauss I and see what happens.)It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

I had to do some driving last week so found myself listening to the some of the new 10.00 programme in the car. Proof for me that R3 has finally taken leave of its senses. It was like having Desert Island Discs [it was hardly up to the intellectual level of Private Passions] with the same person every day for 5 days. We had our noses rubbed in Ms de Thame's impossibly perfect and successful life (she's a Renaissance person, she helpfully pointed out at one stage in case we hadn't noticed), egged on by the gushing, admiring, over-eager tones of Sarah Walker.
After this week's girlish chat, next week offers blokey banter between Rob and Rick Stein. That might at least be interesting for their opposing styles in pronouncing anything foreign. Rob mangles all foreign words and names into a single, one-size-fits-all foreign accent. Rick (I was reminded in his recent cookery series from Spain) sticks to irredeemably English vowels and consonants, and pronounces things phonetically as if they were in English. Of the two I have to say I find Rick's approach the more relaxing and wish Rob wouldn't try so hard....
But I won't be listening.

As far as I can see, Cavatina, "if you would not when you should, you shall not when you will" (as the song says) is the perfect analogy here; i.e. we have the choice: to put up or to shut up.

I've not officially signed the pledge to not listen to:
1. Sunday Morning
2. Any review programs hosted/commentated
By Rob Cowan. Today, he played an awful Uri Kane rendition of Mahler's first and had the audacity to say he was playing it in advance of Jewish New Year. Enough is enough.

I caught that too - crikey, he's got a nerve!
What has happened to Rob Cowan? He is clearly the CFM Suchet of R3, and rapidly sliding into that same slough of mush.
He seems to have totally thrown in his lot with the zeitgeisty thing that is the all bells and whistle accessible and such fun R3.
Would anyone have predicted that?
