The iPlayer listed it as by Hérold, but I should know better than to trust that as a resource (see the occasions when Dame Ethel Smyth has been depicted as Ethel Smith the Hammond organ queen).

When I switched the radio on this morning I had to double check the clock as what I was hearing sounded just like SK - over-enunciating schoolmarm.
It would be such a shame if GM becomes an SK clone. Mistakes I can live with - if only because some of them at least I don't realise are mistakes, higgorant soul that I am(ideal am schedule fodder see...)- but not the voice delivery and apparent disdain for the listener.

Afterwards, instead of correcting the error, she said we didn't actually hear Ravel's version. Am I missing something here?
