Um, Christian Pluhar?
Incidentally, not the same culprit, but I heard "Das Märchen von der schönen Melusine" yesterday - The March of Fair Melussyne (rhymes with 'mine'). And why risk a translation if you don't know what it means?
Note also that Radio 3 retweeted the schoolgirlish silliness below

I still like listening to Breakfast on my morning drive to work. I could do without the inane tweetery and the wedding music box, however. The music's OK, it's all the details that go with it. I liked today's Steve Reich piece - though could have done with all 18 minutes, perhaps.

My thoughts more or less entirely OG and like you I would have appreciated all of the Reich piece. But would it have been played at all without the listener request?

I find that quite painful and would rather opt out of that altogether. But that's just me - and that particular sequence.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

There seems to be something logically faulty about saying that people aren't listening for long enough in the morning to hear a whole work - so we'll play a part of it … Either way, everyone just hears part of it, whether they have time to listen or notIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.
