The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[vinteuil]

I think you're right about missing bits of the listings / ... /
the finale of Reicha's Octet ~1:18:34 played by Consortium Classicum (after Brideshead & before the Elizabethan Serenade).

... many many thanks for your research. Very comforting that I was not completely deluded here!

Was that the piece that had some link or other to Sweelink? I wasn't listening fully at that point.

Not sure... SMP followed it with chat about her wild swiming (inc. a Grauniad article & swimming club), and preceded it by listener Chris Golding's new find (Reicha's Octet).

(Although Sweelinck's Variations on 'Mein junges Leben hat ein End' preceded smittims' Telemann on TTN.)

[LMcD]

I agree

Illogical or irrational as my reaction may be, the pleasure that I derive from listening to Sara and Ian outweighs any irritation that I feel at the fragmented programme of musical titbits that they introduce.
I was particularly taken with Aaron Jay Kernis's Mahlerian setting of Psalm 131 which featured in EC.
(The Reicha has now been added to the Breakfast playlist, by the way),.

Thank you, yes it was TTN. I have had several days/nights of severe sleep disruption(thank heavens for TTN to fill the turbulent void ), and I can recall a comment about music not sounding very like Sweelink as it was a wind ensemble arrangement, but it would seem that having had a couple of hours sleep over the TTN/Breakfast transition my brain evidently got muddled about wind ensembles...

Thanks LMcD. I wonder if Auntie noticed vinteuil's query?

We're still missing the Telemann "Gulliver Suite" "Brobdingnagische Gigue" played by Andrew Manze & Caroline Balding - between the Antognini & Rachmaninov.

Maybe they'd record a CD featuring their commentaries interrupted by musical titbits for their fans, if you wrote in!

Or, you could AI voice clone them both... as someone did to Jeff Geerling (~8:12 in for how it was done with ElevenLabs' "Instant Voice Cloning" for ~$5).
Dear old Patricia Hughes suddenly springs to mind...

[AuntDaisy]

Just heard SMP's listeners' suggestion of "Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin" - especially for today.

How long before dear old Flanders & Swann appear?

From the "The Songs of F & S" page 70... (& hopefully more reviewical / satirical than political).

I remembered coffee! It’s gonna be a great day. Tune in for @bbcradio3
breakfast 630-930 for delicious music to start the day - Schubert, Fauré, Bach before 7, plus Kraftwerk (oh yes) and a Friday poem which takes us to Edinburgh in November.

I really enjoyed the cheerfully wheezy Mozart Gran Partita extract that started Breakfast (and would happily listen to even more.)

But can Radio 3's intended increased listenership tell Kraft from butter?

Even more Mozart, even more Gran Partita or even more extracts from longer works?

Ideally the whole Gran Partita - I managed TP's this morning.

I have the excellent BBC Music Magazine recording.

Is it this one - Anthony Halstead / Wind Soloists Of The Orchestra Of The Age Of Enlightenment?
