Great to hear some Laura Nyro on Breakfast just now. Now just waiting for Martin Handley to correct the pronunciation of her surname to Nero, as is widely known. And then to play some more.

Heard a bit of this, I assume rather a rarity, and enjoyed what I heard. According to Catriona, it was played at Beethoven's funeral - and perhaps it deserves to be better known.

Luigi Cherubini (1760-1842)
Requiem Mass for chorus and orchestra no 1 in C minor

* I only ever took part 3 times back in the 70s but the imposition of ashes service at 6am made an abiding impression on me.

"Haitink first attracted attention when in 1956 he substituted for Carlo Maria Giulini in a performance of Cherubini’s Requiem with the Concertgebouw Orchestra....."

IIRC, you agree with Haitink who recalled it was not a bad piece of music (although he hadn't conducted it in his later career).

A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

While showering ~7:30, Hannah French played Byrd's "O God that guides the cheerful sun" - it really cheered me up on this sunny morning.
But, looking at the R3 listings, it was the first piece at ~6:30 - what happened? Are the IT gremlins at work?
I think Bridge's Valse intermezzo started Breakfast.
Here's the listing ~8:15am
Earl Wild has appeared ~8:26.

It's now Porpora who started Breakfast. I checked the TTN off-air and it was definitely Bridge.
I wanted to know which CD the Byrd was from... but now I'm just confused.

The TtN playlist is somewhat confused as well: the first two items (Kyurkchiyski and Poulenc) were actually the last two. Furthermore, the Sounds page puts these at the beginning, but reverses their order. If your browser can read json script, a look at this puts the Kyurkchiyski and Poulenc at the beginning, as items 0 and 1 but their 'version offsets' (in seconds) seem to be correct, placing them over 5 hours after the beginning; 19067 and 20311 seconds respectively.
Getting back to Breakfast, the json script has the items in the wrong order, but again the offsets are probably correct: the Bridge is item 4 at 137 seconds and the Byrd is item 0 at 3913 seconds
(This is going to play havoc with my database. I wonder how long it's been going on - will have to check.)
