        Was that a schnapp decision?

          Anyway, continuing absolutely on topic (it will return!), I was rather touched to see that the Bristol Hannover Council dates from as early as 1947 - with a goodwill visit from Bristol to Hannover, explaining, I presume, why Bristol used the German spelling, and I got muddled up!
          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

            Not really - more the result of several whisky investments.

                    I wonder how GIPPS has turned into GIBBS in Tuesday's playlist - a spellchecker not accepting Gipps as a name ?
                    Petroc Trelawny presents Radio 3's breakfast show, with the Best of British Music Playlist


                    yesterday's caller was fulsome in her praise of R3 - " all sorts of music I would never hear on US radio, or here in Italy - I've learnt so much ...... "
                    obviously a plant

                      Cynic! Actually a number of those who post on Facebook (not that many people do) are clearly not UK-based. I looked at yesterday's playlist and prepared a response, but then didn't bother - quoting what RW said when grilled in 2004 (October 28) at the last Charter Review session to illustrate how distinctive R3 was. But here it is:

                      "You will certainly see the continuation of our commitment to new work and complete works, more important I think this aspect of complete works now than ever before "

                      Mind you, back in those days they did play complete works.

                        She actually said "Idaly, where I lived before.." .. but anyway as I've said before you UK folks don't know how lucky you are to have the BBC producing quality music programmes.. or even progs on R4, R2, BBC6Music (and I'm sure R1 is really cool too for ver kids..).

                        .....and no adverts!

                        In Italy even RAI has to broadcast adverts (and plenty of 'em) for its income. Plus it's already holiday time and many regular programmes have already been suspended. I tuned in to RAI Radiotre the other day and they were just broadcasting classical music en bloque without any kind of introductions or explanations of what one was listening to. Someone's idea of heaven I know, but it's hardly informing the public, as it should.

                          Interesting stuff, Rads.

                          Exactly HOW long are the euro holidays in so called Idaly then?

                            I don't recall any adverts on Rai5, though I haven't listened to it lately. Has it also succumbed?

                            (Rai3 sounds great to me. I must add it to my list.)

                              It's usually a kind of "we'll be back in September" kind of arrangement announced aroun the end of May/early June. Much like the schools.

                              Rai5 is a (satellite) TV channel and yes they also have adverts. Here's RaiRadio 3 ... I see there are still some of the regular programmes, so maybe there was a strike that day or something.

                                Nor does Radio 3.

                                If Zucchini will indulge me , I was alone in the gym at 8am so I turned off Kiss FM and went over to R3. I felt that, if you're listening in that disconnected, half concentrating, half thinking of something else, way it would have been perfectly acceptable to hear an ENTIRE Haydn symphony since you're only mentally 'tuning in' now and again. Somebody emailed in to say her piano teacher had said 'I think you'll like this' and gave her the music for Beethoven's op 110 - cue Alfred Brendel playing one movement (which many will not have listened to in its entirety anyway). And that's the level of 'information'. Some would prefer that, if they're not going to say anything informative, they say nothing at all.

                                [And I swear I could hear Kenneth Williams shouting 'Too fast, too fast' over the William Tell overture, and James Robertson Justice sniggering.]
