    Has Afternoon on 3 now downgraded to disc jockey status?

    Looking at the schedule for today's Afternoon on 3, I can't help but note that at least the Prokofiev and Glazunov works appear to be from commercial studio recordings. Is Afternoon on 3 no longer to be a 'live' recordings programme?

    Indeed , it was the Ashkenazy/Previn recording of Prokofiev 2 introduced by the egregious Katie Derham gabbling from a script and pronouncing Previn in a preposterous manner Pray-vin

      ...not the pretentious Pray-va(n) or the predictable Pre-view?

        Something to watch carefully. This is 'obviously' because it's a Special Event (Music on the Brink) programme. But in future - (I think R3 is more likely to become wall-to-wall BBC Performing Groups. Just to show how "distinctive" Radio 3 is from Classic FM).

        I'm afraid that current management has dug itself into a deep hole and has 'managed' to get away with it by the use of 'weasel words'. But that's only my opinion.
        It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

              Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
              Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
              Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.
