..not round are way (sic.)"Gone Chopin, Bach in a minuet." -
Marooned, as I am, in bed with a touch of Man Flu I have R3 Breakfast on in the background just to provide some musical accompaniment to the snuffling, sweating and in-and-out dozing that becomes a little tedious. Just heard CB-H read out some email from a listener who asked for a specific piece of music and then proceeded to say that she would 'bear it in mind' (I.e. Ignore it) and play something completely different. I mean, what's the point?
And there's an advert for Stockhausen - described as 'the most innovative of 20th century composers'. So innovative one presumes that R3 has all but ignored him for years.
OK, back to the usual stuff - Balakirev's In the Steppes of Central Asia.
Time to sink back into the pillows and doze off.O Wort, du Wort, das mir Fehlt!Comment

It means that she, the Presenter, is much more important than the listener, and that all this democratisation is fabrication and spin.Originally posted by Bax-of-Delights View PostComment

"We'll bear it in mind", "we must think about that".... Typical BBC-isms that mean they'll ignore your suggestion and hope you forget about it.Originally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View PostComment

oh well, Stockhausen will be composer of the week, next week, and we get a complete Hymnen this Friday.Comment

No even though I'll probably be in some sort of Cornish Hell my faith in the Squire will still be rock solid ......Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostComment

Interesting listening experience this morning.
Got woken up at 7 as usual by my alarm radio.
Breakfast on 3. Dukas' Sorcerer's Apprentice. Used to like that piece (before R3 started playing it at every available opportunity.)
Switched over to Radio 4. Today. Chinese stock market problems, and how it's threatening a new global economic meltdown; Dame Sally Davies on how even minimal amounts of alcohol increase risks of cancer; Inverurie in Aberdeenshire washed away by the latest instalment of the monsoon.
Switched back to R3. Peer Gynt.
Switched off.Comment
