The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[LMcD]

The Breakfast playlist is now stuffed so full of 'favourite tunes' that I'm half expecting to switch on one day and find that the programme has a new host in the form of an AI-generated Alan Keith.

I have the excellent BBC Music Magazine recording.

Brymer and the LWS is good enough for me.

I'm content with Furtwangler (ah, those 1940s Vienna Philharmonic winds!) or Robert Craft, not the first name that springs to mind in Mozart, nor is Pierre Boulez, who did record K361 for Decca, I suspect at the urging of Mitsuko Uchida who plays the Berg Concerto on the same disc.

Do HIPP interpreters use a string bass instead of a contrabassoon? Otto Klemperer used both in his recording.

Is it this one - Anthony Halstead / Wind Soloists Of The Orchestra Of The Age Of Enlightenment?

Ideally the whole Gran Partita - I managed TP's this morning.

Even more Mozart, even more Gran Partita or even more extracts from longer works?

I really enjoyed the cheerfully wheezy Mozart Gran Partita extract that started Breakfast (and would happily listen to even more.)

But can Radio 3's intended increased listenership tell Kraft from butter?

I remembered coffee! It’s gonna be a great day. Tune in for @bbcradio3
breakfast 630-930 for delicious music to start the day - Schubert, Fauré, Bach before 7, plus Kraftwerk (oh yes) and a Friday poem which takes us to Edinburgh in November.

Just heard SMP's listeners' suggestion of "Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin" - especially for today.

How long before dear old Flanders & Swann appear?

From the "The Songs of F & S" page 70... (& hopefully more reviewical / satirical than political).

Maybe they'd record a CD featuring their commentaries interrupted by musical titbits for their fans, if you wrote in!

Or, you could AI voice clone them both... as someone did to Jeff Geerling (~8:12 in for how it was done with ElevenLabs' "Instant Voice Cloning" for ~$5).
Dear old Patricia Hughes suddenly springs to mind...

Illogical or irrational as my reaction may be, the pleasure that I derive from listening to Sara and Ian outweighs any irritation that I feel at the fragmented programme of musical titbits that they introduce.

I was particularly taken with Aaron Jay Kernis's Mahlerian setting of Psalm 131 which featured in EC.
(The Reicha has now been added to the Breakfast playlist, by the way),.

Thanks LMcD. I wonder if Auntie noticed vinteuil's query?

We're still missing the Telemann "Gulliver Suite" "Brobdingnagische Gigue" played by Andrew Manze & Caroline Balding - between the Antognini & Rachmaninov.
