The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[antongould]

Today after enjoying Lieut Kije on TtN, when the opening of Hansel & Gretel was played on Breakfast I almost felt Christmassy. But the dratted Bolero has just spoiled that mood.

How very could they

What a shame - didn't hear it but is it true that Ravel didn't like Bolero? I'm sure I read that somewhere - his views on Breakfast and SMP weren't mentioned.

Did he do it for the money then?

[Black Swan]

Yes totally agree. I chose that portion of Breakfast to be the perfect time to go out and get the Saturday Guardian. But I still find I can tolerate Saturday and Sunday Breakfast better than the weekly production.

Lady Sidcup? Salymap, did you really Marry Roderick Spode? I think we should be told!

No he seems obsessed with the place Ferret. It is either jokes about Dame Ethel or comments on the name.

I certainly haven't changed my name or married that odious man and anton needs a slapped wrist for overuse of the joke.

So there .....

I caught the end of that on the car radio,quickly followed by your call and the off button.
I wonder if the presenters are embarassed when they announce Bolero yet again,maybe they should make a stand and refuse to play it.

Hi ER, hope the prog still gets a look in!

I see you've been keeping the British neglected composers thread going (if my memory is correct, it was your idea in the first place).

I love Bolero! But even Ravel had a problem with it. I think he described it as his masterpiece that contains no music!

[Ferretfancy]

I rather liked Roderick Spode, but then I am distantly ( very ) related to Oswald Mosley.After all he ( Spode) did usually get his come uppance from Bertie!

Careful Ff, when the lefties and sandal-wearing classes read this they'll baying for your blood!

I think that's the quote I heard/read BO - checking around this morning Ravel heard a woman comment after listening to Bo that " Ravel must be mad"! He is reported to have said that she was the only member of the audience who understood it!

Not at all, Beefy - unlike you kippers we can discern fact from fiction
