I shall try & listen, but the EMS is on at a rather awkward time for me - lunchtime, & my partner doesn't like to have music on then.

I always think of the Brighton EMF as the 'Bright 'n early MF' - music enthusiasts up & about at the crack of dawn.

It's mostly a chat show, you're not missing anything. Another R2.5 victim...

I remember being wowed by Handel's Pensieri Notturni di Fili when I first heard it on radio - would be a nice thing to have on disc/k.

Thank you for this, doversoul. Though I shall find it hard to take seriously an ensemble named Les Mélomanes

Re: Handel's Pensieri Notturni di Fili
Something like this? There have been at least two programmes on which Roberta Invernizzi’s recording was played (can’t remember when or on what)

CB did mention something about the name of the/a group but I had to leave the room and missed it. But I see what you mean.

Erm....

If Bott's and Skeaping's informed and intelligent presenting style falls into the category of 'chat', then give me more of it. In fact my ghast is well-and-truly flabbered that you can make any sort of comparison between them and the air-heads (well, they are instructed to behave like air-heads by Roger Wright) of Breakfast and Clssiks Lite.

[gamba]

Of course they are intelligent & well-informed. The point is there is just too much chat.

I missed out on much of the programme but at one point found myself listening to a J.E.Gardiner recording - how come ?

Bloody Liszt innit...

Sorry to bang on about this, but (IMO obviously) there just isn't too much chat on The EMS. For a start the ratio music:talk is high. Secondly the talk is informative talk...not the reading out of texts from Terry of Tooting about the Tallis he heard in his teens. This is one of R3's programmes which hasn't fallen prey to the 3Beebies syndrome....and long may it remain thus,

Agreed aardcarp - you only have to listen to the podcasts, where the music is pruned back savagely, leaving a programme that's only 12 - 15 minutes long sometimes...

clearly a man who's paid for his own dentures
