Yes, excellent programme. I usually enjoy John Shea & Susan Sharpe as "presenters" - as Standfordian said, informative without being chatty. I've stopped listening to the morning programmes.
The Swedish "Through the Night" broadcasts, "Euroclassic Notturno", start with a narrated intro, but sometimes use bird-song as a filler, e.g. 2 hours in to the 18/7/2018 Scarlatti & Soler broadcast - wish they'd do the same for R3 Breakfast & Essential Classics. (It might be a remnant from when the Swedes cut back on having a presenter).
The Swedish Euroclassic Notturno is useful if R3 "forget" to broadcast TTN or have glitches, they sometimes list commercially available pieces from the TTN broadcasts.
In the good old days, the Norwegian Euroclassic Notturno gave detailed listings for the programmes - with more information than even the old BBC R3 pages, including titbits about how many repeats were allowed, where / when the piece was recorded, and sometimes movement titles.
