      Not in my view - doesn't respond to the points made. Like trying to pull teeth from a hen.

        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

            Since I find both the current Radio 3 output and the discussion so infuriating I'd better just bow out - with an apology to you too.

            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.

                Just now we had two pieces which surely would never be played on Classic FM: something by Dallapiccola and one of Webern's Op. 14 songs (a setting of Trakl). All right, there was also The Wasps, but still.

                  That's like a Golf Club "proving" it isn't sexist by pointing out that they pay Magda to help run the bar.

                    So you would prefer wall to wall Dallapiccola and Webern?

                      Preferable to endless trails for BBC Sounds, I would have thought.

                        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.

                          But think how far a frightened horse might gallop in 10 minutes.

                            You are absolutely right, of course. I detest, quite as much as you, the practice of only ever playing isolated movements before noon.

                              Have you any idea what they’re on about in half of those trails? No we don’t want wall to wall anything but it’s good to have a wider mix - like on R2 or RCornwall - I don’t want wall to wall sixties music but I want some of it in the mix!

                                I presume, cloughers, your wider mix has Seth Lakeman but no Skellers, Skellers has Skellers and Seth Lakeman .......
