The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[french frank]

to be fair to her she was slightly laughing in her back-announcement of the Torke piece.

She'd have laughed even more if she'd read out Torke's own description of his piece. To be equally fair, she's either choosing pieces to a brief or it's a joint effort with producers.

....a joint effort with producers.

I'm convinced that this is how the playlist programmes' playlists come into being.

[Serial_Apologist]

You're obviously not the intended audience!

Torke says, “I have always wanted to write a composition that would inspire a woman, coming home from a long day of work, to draw a bath, light candles, and listen to it on her pink iPod.”

Happy Torky - this seems somehow appropriate to his angling exploits:

I loved his idea of what a tired women would want to listen to on her pink iPod while wallowing in her bath by candlelight. Did he write anything for a tired man wanting to listen on his pink iPod while wallowing in his bath by candlelight?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
I was a tad irritated by the assumption that it would be an option for a woman after a long day at work, since for many coming home is the start to another round of work...

Not only that, but that's the kind of music a woman will like. She doesn't even have good taste in music

Can someone clarify this for me please? Is it a JSB arrangement of Praetorius' setting of the chorale?

Johann Sebastian Bach
]Aus tiefer Noth schrey ich zu dir
Composer: Michael Praetorius. Choir: Huelgas Ensemble.

I missed EA, but I think it's by both composers.
Could the 2010 album EA mentions be "PraeBachtorius"?
In which case, https://www.allmusic.com/album/praeb...s-mw0001959365 lists:

#27 BWV 38: Aus tieffer Noth schrey ich zu dir, Johann Sebastian Bach, 01:16
#28 Musae Sioniae: Aus tieffer Noth schrey ich zu dir, Michael Praetorius, 01:00
#29 BWV 38: Ob bei uns ist der Sünden viel, Johann Sebastian Bach, 02:36

Which, I think start at ~1:17:17, 1:18:32 & 1:19:33 in the programme (via Sounds).

They did something similar on the Early Music Show "The Huelgas Ensemble at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival".

A piece in the Guardian today suggests that radio audiences are moving their listening to later in the morning. If true, this might explain Essential Classics's popularity, though I didn't find the argument convincing. I look forward to m'learned friend's comments on RAJAR figures anon.

Think I’ll add mournful sounding tenors to my switch off list! tara!

Has Petroc decamped to Truro more or less permanently? Has he said? I think he had Covid?

Returning to his roots? It's a convenient tick for Auntie in the government "levelling up" farce - look we've got a popular show coming from a deprived area, and - extra pixie points - it reduces the carbon footprint to get to the studio.

Certainly seems that way - can’t blame him really - don’t know if it was Covid but his voice sounded strange for a while!

Agreed. Interesting possible parallel with Martin Handley who has continued to broadcast his Sunday Breakfast from his home Somewhere in East Sussex.

I had thought that Petroc's ancestral home is fairly far south on the Lizard Peninsula - if so it's a fair old trek to Truro from there.
