The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[Bax-of-Delights]

This Sunday morning's presenter, Clemency Burton-Hill, owned up to never having heard of Gretchaninoff.

This used to be on Your 100 Best Tunes on a regular basis - and I bought this EP as a direct result of hearing it on R3.

I love his Domestica Ligurtica!! Hiow could she not have heard of him? R3 becomes increasinly strange. Actually, I don't listen to Breakfast anymore.

...My first one [CD, that is] was Joseph Keilberth playing orchestral excerpts from R Strauss operas, it was right in my Strauss phrase and it seemed very exotic to be able to have the 'Potpourri' from Die Schwiegsame Frau and the Interludes from Intermezzo

that's a coincidence: the LP-version of that Strauss/Keilberth CD was one of my very first LPs [in 1973], and my first completely Richard-Strauss-dedicated LP (I bought it for the Rosenkavalier waltzes - thinking Richard being Johann )

As my late father's opera-going friends from Hamburg always used to tell him: "Richard Strauss - the worst of Richard Wagner and Johann Strauss combined".

Or, as the Kaiser said about his court composer Richard Strauss: if it has got to be a Richard, then Wagner, if a Strauss, then Johann
Let's say that these two men were not exactly best friends

I hope Clem will follow up my suggestion...

Kaiser (speaking of Strauss' Music generally): I prefer Freischutz
Strauss: Oh, so do I.

Why is it not possible to see anywhere on the website what's playing at the moment. I want to make sure I never again hear, either accidentally or deliberately, the ABSOLUTE SHOCKER of a piece that's on at the moment... What the hell is it??!

EDIT: was able to tune back in at the end - Glazunov's "La Mer"

"Essential Classic", my Ars Nova....

I've said this before: R3's website is difficult to understand and navigate. It needs redesigning.

quite.
It comes from the "If it looks cool it must be good" school of webite design.
I thought that the Southbank centre "team" had reached the creative zenith of this style, until I "visited" the Barbican listing section......................

Incidentally H, I think that you may be labouring under the misapprehension that somebody high up at R3 wants it to be easy to navigate.

[Suffolkcoastal]

The playlist for this morning's 'Inessential Classics' seems to have been left incomplete (no mention of any Glazunov) an increasingly common occurrence under RW's shoddy couldn't care less regime.

"Action 3 –– Radio 3 should consider how it can help audiences best navigate the wide range of content on offer. This consideration should take into account the role of the Radio 3 website, as well as cross promotion and marketing. As part of this, we endorse Radio 3’’s plans to allow audiences to navigate online content by genre. [...] We have asked BBC management to report back by summer 2011." (From the Radio 3 Review)

IOW, I think they have redesigned it. That may be the problem.
