The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[french frank]

No one has however commented on the no texts, no newspaper snippets and no presenter self publicity.

We weren't sure whether you were disappointed about it, or pleased

[antongould]

good one - but simply making an observation - I am "on record" as saying they don't bother me - again, I would suspect, the man alone!

Well they were back today in the few minutes I sampled it (just before 9am and just after 9.45am - something about favoutite operas (I think I heard one claiming that Beethoven wrote the greatest opera of all time)

Text, cutting or poll?

Do look at today's schedule for Breakfast. I thought I knew Swan Lake pretty well but we are promised 'The Dance of the goblets'at 8.03am. Cheers.

[antongould]

You have ample time to have a few goblets by then!

Well, Wiki does give Act 1:
No. 7 Sujet (Introduction to the Dance with Goblets)
No. 8 Dance with Goblets: Tempo di polacca

??

[Danse des coupes, it appears]

[Suffolkcoastal]

The Dance with Goblets is one of the more regular 'bits' from Swan Lake featured in either morning or evening Breakfast. the Tempo di Polacca being the reason as it saves playing the famous one from Eugene Onegin every week.

[salymap]

Rob did say something about another version I believe. All my very old LPs of the supposedly complete SL don't mention it.Live and learn I suppose I hoped it was a mistake for 'Dance of the Cygnets' 'goblet' seems a good name for them.

Text, cutting or poll?

text + poll - think there was a cutting but I'd just switched back from R4 and was looking up schedule to see whether I wanted to listen further or to get out a Cd before I had to leave to visit a friend

[mercia]

Dance of the turkeys? aka Dance of the Gobblers?

ignore me

[Paul Sherratt]

' Dance Of The Giblets '

[Norfolk Born]

' Dance Of The Giblets '

That's an offal joke...

[MarkG]

This morning we had just the opening movement from a Handel organ concerto. The entire piece would have easily fitted into Breakfast (<15mins?). Are the extracts getting shorter?

[Don Petter]

There were also two isolated movements after 10am (Dale and Elgar).
