The York concert was split into two hour-long programmes: part one was broadcast in this afternoon's Early Music Show

(and it was excellent) - part two is to be broadcast in this evening's Early Music Late:

It just seemed a rather odd thing to do.

It just seemed a rather odd thing to do.

- I suppose to make it fit into the EMS schedules; though why it couldn't have been broadcast in full as part of the evening schedules ... ???

(Still - better this way than not at all - and "preferable" to the splitting up and rearranging of programmes that's such an annoying feature of many programmes.)

I enjoyed the first part, hope to be awake still for the second. I assume it was split this way(ie two parts) as that is convention for concerts, but in view of the inclusion of morning afternoon,evening and nighttime ragas it is perhaps a shame that the first part was all morning ragas and everything else will be in the second part, so possibly fewer western contributions?

I have not listened as yet but was the concert performed as a single stretch or in two parts, one in the morning (yet broadcast after noon) and the other in the evening? The 'Morning' programme certainly included the morning raga Bhairavi. However, there ia as yet no listing for the content of tonight's afternoon, evening and night sequence.

[Ah. I see now from https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/163...r-early-music/ that the original cancert was given in the evening, and was continuous.]
