I've stopped listening to the Breakfast show now, as I can't stand the constant trailers, repetitive corporate messages and other drivel (same goes for Essential Classics -and actually pretty much everything I used to listen to on Radio 3) can someone post here if there is a sudden improvement so I can go back?

The second time I've heard this happen in recent weeks.

Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Originally posted by Caliban View PostWith you there, Edgy. The exception is that I download all the Martin Handley weekend breakfast programmes, and have them on (via the iPad) at odd moments, skipping through the odd trailer and the old news. I still think his programmes deliver a lot of interesting music, fine for 'kitchen listening'... The MH programmes are enough to last a week or two - I've yet to 'run out'
Same trailers including pretty merciless plugging of his own appearances
Much the same musical selections
Use of the terrible “shout out”
Sickly interface with Sarah Walker
I prefer the Squire ......

Originally posted by oddoneout View PostI like MH's voice but it seems to me that the 'morning schedule virus' is creeping is beginning to affect his presenting(that originally came out as precenting - now there's a thought...). How much of that is contamination and how much is 'required' I don't know.

I would differ about the musical selections - at least, in terms of what I remember from weekday programmes. My latest helping of Handley kedgeree was tasty enough for me:
William Walton
Scapino
Conductor: André Previn. Orchestra: London Symphony Orchestra.
Thomas Arne
The Morning
Singer: Emma Kirkby. Ensemble: The Parley of Instruments. Conductor: Roy Goodman.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Piano Trio in C minor, Op 1 No 3 (4th mvt)
Ensemble: Hungarian Trio.
Kurt Weill
Das Berliner Requiem (extract)
Choir: Choeur de la Chapelle Royale de Paris. Singer: Alexandre Laiter. Singer: Peter Kooij. Ensemble: Ensemble Musique Oblique. Conductor: Philippe Herreweghe.
Roger Quilter
A Children's Overture Op. 17
Orchestra: BBC National Orchestra of Wales. Conductor: Rumon Gamba.
Not at all the sort of selection I recall from morning programmes in the recent (i.e. pre-retirement ) past - not a note of *uckaroo Holiday, for instance, or anything like it"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Probably the wrong place to mention it, but Sarah Walker let herself down badly on Sunday reading out a (?) tweet from someone who'd rushed into the kitchen thinking his washing machine was malfunctioning, only to find it was the castanets in the Boccherini Fandango. Did she really find that funny? Who, amongst R3's grown-up listenership, does she imagine would have done?
