    It looks like music and musicians are assisting her recovery!

    Radio 3 star Clemency Burton-Hill says music helped her "to live" after she underwent emergency surgery.

        ... and just as I thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, the programme entered with a gasping gabble between EA and TS.

            It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                I deliberately gave Breakfast a miss today. I turned on just after 9 to hear an excerpt from Beethoven's third timpani concerto conducted by Jordi Savall.

                  Sorry - “ended”, not “entered”.

                    Yes, that was the impression I had too.

                      ff If I remember correctly you mentioned Alvar Lidell on a recent thread - TS could usefully spend time listening and learning about speed and diction from his style of delivery!

                        Everything's fine on Radio 2 between 6.00 and 8.00 a.m. on Saturday mornings!

                          Footnote to Alvar Lidell whose tones I can hear in my head to this day. I heard him as a performer in one of those very eclectic London Sinfonietta Proms in 1969. He was the speaker in John Tavener's The Whale. Programme also included Wayne Sleep dancing Starvinsky's Renard.

                            Radio 3 has been a complete no-go area all morning
                            "...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..."

                              Blackburn chirping at the break of day?

                              I watched a programme where Brian Turner goes back to ‘celebrities’ roots’ and Blackburn was the subject and he came over as quite a loner. I have never really warmed to him and for someone who has been involved with , and probably made a lot of money from, music - he never seems to share a love of it in the way that eg Johnnie Walker, or his predecessor on Sounds of the 60s, Brian Matthew!

                                The differences between lockdown and 'normal' schedules are really making themselves felt now, sadly. Two trails and one set of news headlines 'fitted' into a half hour segment do little to facilitate a satisfactory programme of music items (regardless of one's view of 'snippets' etc) which then have to be shoehorned between such intrusions, and the presenter talk.
