Pastoralguy,
O~thank you. The photos are wonderful as I listen to the busy cafe. -
She clearly enjoyed making it. While you're at it, why not check out her own (non-BBC) personal website? There's an item re. the Satie programme in her blog there, and her ideas on encouraging creativity in the young might well be of some interest to at least some here.Comment

Haven't listened yet, but it was my pick for 'Now iPlaying'. The kind of serendipitously fascinating stuff we're starved of on today's cash-strapped R3. Enjoyable enlightenment.
Edit: Correction, I meant 'Now iPlaying', not 'Looking ahead'. What's good is that you feel the whole thing has been put together lovingly by someone/people enthused by their subject. The trick is to enthuse others by the content, not by leaping up and down excitedly

Listening right now - too dim to find the pictures on the website. Could some kind soul please direct me.Originally posted by pastoralguy View PostThis is super.

It is really quite absurd, when you think about it, that this excellent, most enjoyable programme and that quiz programme belong to the same station.Comment

Strongly agree with the OP - this is by far the best thing I've yet heard by SW on Radio 3: while revelling in the atmosphere to bring it to life she positively breathed the vestiges extant of Satie's Paris. The others' contributions filled out a previously incomplete picture of the man.
Well done, Sarah

Excellent programme - one of the best features on a single composer that I've heard in a long time.
I have great respect for Sarah Walker. I played at the Pianothon in Leeds last year: SW was hosting it, and at one point she sat down with Benjamin Frith and a couple of other pianists and sight-read a part in an 8-hand arrangement (can't remember what the work was, but the sight-reading was very impressive.)Comment
