I can't seem to find the playlist of this morning's breakfast, although tomorrow's is there with a Slavonic Dance and Zadok the Priest to look forward to

I don't think you can absolutely rely on it appearing, sc. Back in the past there were always odd days when something went wrong with the system and the list never appeared.
Why don't you email the programme and ask for the running order, explaining that you're compiling an annual list? Who knows, they may consult you in the future ...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.

Anyone know much about him and his music ?.
Sounds like a composer I would like to get to know more.
Probably: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_...ng_(conductor)

It doesn't look as if he composed a great deal and they are shorter, and choral, works for the most part.
The Sinfonietta was available on a Chandos disc, now as a download.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.

Back to Breakfast. The jump from West Side Story to Zadok [again] was too much for this once loyal listener.

The phrase 'putative audience' is the key here, but it has all manner of ramifications:
[a] to whom does R3 think it is broadcasting?
[b] to whom would R3 like to be broadcasting?
[c] to whom is R3 actually broadcasting?
Because IMO there are three distrinct answers and at the moment, R3 seems to be trapped on ground between them and seems to be having trouble identifying the target.
Unlike R4 and to an extent R1/2, R3 has made a far bigger change to its target profile in the last 5 yrs than any other of the major BBC radio platforms, and I just wonder if they have any focused idea of the answer to any of the questions above.
