A propos of Sounds Of the Earth does any one agree that mixing natural sounds e,g, birdsong and classical music doesn’t really work? To be the beauties of one fight against the beauties of the other . The audio recording of the cellist and the nightingale constantly rolled out on Radio 3 is one of my least favourite radio cliches . Partly because the cello playing has some poor intonation. On a bigger scale the Rautavarra works are very interesting - once ...There is wonderful blackbird that wakes me up every morning at the moment in the front garden. It is quite pleasant when aleatorically he joins in with Radio 3 but having it mixed together by an engineer is to my ears unnaturally premeditated.

Sometimes, to my ears, it seems to work beautifully, and most of the time is satisfactory, but even when it's more 'clunky' it doesn't bother me. I'm not sure it's a question so much of "does it work" as "do you like it". I much prefer birds to people talking over music...

He's (IS that is not Anton) been very much in evidence in the afternoon slot and I couldn't help thinking that was deliberate of the Beeb -"Look we're not getting rid of him" deflection tactic.

The same with the birdsong recognition feature. Martin solemnly said that as the DoE had died it would be postponed until next week. Incomprehensible!

Had last Sunday’s programme on earlier, and was similarly dumbfounded.

I can’t think of any reason why suppressing this was thought appropriate - unless to respect the late Duke’s preference for blasting birds out of the sky rather than learning their songs...
