Originally posted by mercia View PostI know I'm easily impressed, but for someone to put a request into the programme and for that request to be fulfilled within a few minutes even though presumably it puts the kybosh on one's beautifully planned running-order, quite impresses me

it was (a bit of) Stanford's Stabat Mater by the way

Originally posted by HARRIET HAVARD View PostStrange, isn't it, that only certain adverse comments about certain composers seem to be broadcast. Can't remember, for instance, ever hearing a bad word spoken on the network about Taverner- ancient and modern- or Rutter. I can't believe I am the only one who finds absolutely nothing in the lift Musak of these two to recommend them, and that no one, apart from me, has taken the trouble to comment to R3.
But I'd be surprised if anyone wanted to badmouth the ancient Taverner - because you do have to seek out music of that period, and if you don't like it, you aren't listening in the first place.

But live programmes couldn't be timed in advance to the split-second. By my timing, recent Breakfast programmes have had about 30 minutes of speech/announcements. And the reason they give for never publishing the playlists in advance is that they aren't quite finished. They can have a few extra pieces up their sleeves to get the timing exactly right, and talking to Sarah/Rob who have just popped into the studio can be a bit longer or shorter as needed.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.
