The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[Bax-of-Delights]

Well, Sarah Walker has just read out about 20 names as correct answer to some infantile "quiz" about Andre Prevn ("oooh, so many of you go this right!") just after playing "America" from West Side Story and just before Schubert's Unfinished. Next up is Tim Vine, Sarah's "Special Guest".

It just gets better and better...

"America" from West Side Story

Oh! So that's what that din was! Thanks for telling me.

Tim Vine's contribution was "Which composer was it that started with Ta-Ta-Ta-Tum'. Real connoisseur stuff here.

They could use this old tune to liven things up .

EDIT: if they need a "comprehensive" list of British music they could just borrow ER's spreadsheet.
Or talk to SC, or....or..... just ******* look something up for themselves.
Don't they have researchers?

Rant over.

What are they?

Don't they have researchers?

Of course they do - who do you think researches all the party games for the children to join in?

why was it important that we were told that we had 8' of Bernstein; all of the intros had a personalised context, i was screaming and had to turn it off ... [8' is probably time enough for a pee]

Do any Boarders know anything about Tom Redmond, this weekend's breakfast presenter? I believe he plays Horn with the Halle and has mad a sideline presenting Classical Music with a spin to children?

A quote from his website:

You might think classical music is boring, but not done this way, with extrovert Tom Redmond presenting the different pieces of music with wisecracks and actions for the audience to join in with.

with a spin to children?

Just right for the Breakfast audience.

FF,

I was thinking the same, obviously Chuckles the Clown wasn't available......

And why the blithering blazes don't they put this kind of presentation on CBBC? Instead of putting CBBC presenters (who know nothing about classical music) on Radio 3 - as they did with Making Tracks, they put child entertainers who DO know about classical music on a grown-up station. Known as the Mix and Mis-Match strategy.

interesting pronunciation of Sakari Oramo this morning, for all I know the correct one ......... Sakari Oramo (perhaps related to Paddy O'Ramo)

not bad choice of music, except Schubert Impromptu and Shostakovich Festive Overture ...... at least it was a different bit of Pulcinella from the usual
