Thank you for the alert - that's a different( and possibly more appealing) offering than what's in my newspaper listing. I don't always remember to check the schedule online while I have the pc fired up.

Thanks for the reminder about this!

I have been greatly enjoying Classical Opera's Mozart 250 concerts, but unfortunately cannot attend this one as I shall be at Der Rosenkavalier this evening.

So it's great news that I shall be able to catch up with it on R3.

I thought this was an excellent programme and performance. In general (outside a forum like this for example), it is often assumed that Mozart rose out fully formed from the ash of Baroque music which ended with the death of (JS) Bach. So it is very good to see (hear) a British group programming music by these in-between composers and great to see it being broadcast on Radio3 live.
