Solo Bach on Lunchtime Concert

[Bryn]

Hey, the wretched, may it rot in hell iPlayer cuts off before the end of Isabel Faust's solo Bach recital ended!
WHY?
Is there any way I can get to hear the end?

Not with proper continuity, but the end of the Lunchtime concert is currently at the start of Afternoon on 3. The files may get better edited by the iPlayer team on Monday, but I would not rely on that. Thanks for the alert. I will check later to see whether there is a gap or an overlap. Let's hope it's the latter.

[There is indeed an overlap. Stop the Lunchtime Concert offering at 57'12", then start that for Afternoon on 3 2'14" in. That way you don't miss anything except perhaps a little hall ambience between movements. (Not quite so) simples!]

Good stuff. It never occurred to me that the iPlayer engineers were that bovine.

To be fair to the iPlayer team, they did allow for an overrun of about 5 minutes. The Lunchtime Concert was scheduled to end at 2.00 pm. The Radio 3 schedulers must have known not only that it would overrun, but by how much, since it was a recorded concert. The whole programme, starting at 1.03 pm, ran for 2 hour 3 minutes and 7 seconds. Bet your life nobody warned the iPlayer team just how much the overrun would be.

This has now been corrected. The iplayer plays the concert to the end.

Many thanks for info.
