I am firmly of the view that very few people in the whole of the BBC have a clue about classical music!

I turned on the radio to hear the much praised Breakfast presented by Martin Handley. Yes, he was very good: measured but relaxed, and the music was interesting. I thought this was as good as Through the Night. Then came a trailer: half a dozen voices yakety-yaking about amazing, blown away, staggering and more. That’s it. I am staying with TTN. What a pity. One of the finest presenters wasted.Last edited by doversoul1; 06-07-19, 09:01.

Towards the end of Breakfast there was a segue of Schubert Impromptu into MacMillan's 'Oh Radiant Dawn'. This isn't a tactic I normally find either appealing or successful, but for some reason this one, for me, worked.

Hence the invaluable ‘skip 10 seconds’ button on the iPlayer app... 2 or 3 taps (plus a few more to skip the out-of-date news bulletin) and it’s fine: Handley unmarred!"...the isle is full of noises,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..."
