Yes, never mind the shared experience of listening to radio, you lot can listen to the On Demand service on your computers. Just leave us alone to listen to Radio 3.
I take everything I've said back and humbly apologise. The morning output suits you - I will crawl back into my hole apologising to you for being so selfish.
Yes, very unreasonable of me to suggest you should have to put up with hated advertisements. Must be as tiresome as listening to presenter inanities … oops! sorry pardon again.

Not a chestnut heard much in these parts

I struggle to see a great difference in the listening experiences

I have made the points I wanted to make, several times, and eventually it gets frustrating to have to repeat them again. The "ambition" of the BBC is to get more people listening to Radio 3 and they aren't concerned these days about what it broadcasts. As long as it doesn't make heavy demands on its listeners.

But seriously, whilst acknowledging the point that ClassicFM/Scala would probably not touch either composer - a single solitary song from Op14? The longest is about 1min 45secs, the shortest under a minute. The whole work (a phrase to strike dread into the programme producers) takes under 10 minutes.
