Black Swan
I am having a good saturday. The only breakfast i've had was my eggs and bacon. When I woke I turned on R3 and heard the dulcet tones of the presenter and hit the off button immediately.

I do still listen to R3 at weekends from 7ish. usually until some boring idiot comes on the line to tell us his life history, then it's ipod plugged into the Bose.I have a medical condition- I am fool intolerant.

0803-ish, trail for Eric Coates ( one of the first pieces of sheet music I ever bought and learned to play was the Dambuster's March") , had previously been thinking "The reason they can't play more than one movement is because everyone would think the queen had died" so, guess what? we had all three movements of Eric Coates "Three Elizabeths Suite" Mental collapse of stout party.

Playlist for today is up - no performers included for any of them, though one can infer the performer of the Handel (presuming it to have been arranged for the trumpet ...).
One doesn't know quite what to think about so many of the Breakfast listeners having had their minds blown, though it might explain how they can put up with the tedium of being told, day after day, that Andrew Motion wrote about his mindblowing experience of reading a volume of Seamus Heaney's poetry and therefore we're discussing the mindblowing music that Radio 3 listeners have heard and playing some of their suggestions of mindblowing music that turned them on to classical music ... [there follow several examples of which one or none is then played]. I suppose the combination of it being busy breakfast time and minds blown by once hearing the Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune enables them to deal with the repetition.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.

You know me of old, and if you, or anyone who has not already got that volume, could let me know I shall pass it on as a gift in my usual way.
I mislaid my original copy and it made a handy Christmas present last year for someone who couldn't think of anything.

Anyone have any thoughts on today's Breakfast: works by Adès, Harvey and Berio? (No, not a joke.) Is there a Trust review of Radio 3 due or something? Or is it that the station is briefly under new [acting] management?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.
