The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

Perhaps he can also remove the 'live' trailers for the prog that follows Breakfast...........

Does anyone else find the music's volume level often too low in comparison to the announcer's voice level? The other morning, Barbirolli's arrangement of "Sheep May Safely Graze" was played but for the most part was almost inaudible. One may turn the sound up to a reasonable level of audibility but the moment it's over, and the presenter's voice comes in several decibels higher than those produced by a symphony orchestra, and the volume control has immediately to be turned back down again. Maybe it's deliberate, so that those still semi-slumbering aren't jolted out of their beds by too violent a fortissimo or two!

not to mention the 'live' trailer during Essential Classics for the lunchtime concert, the 'live' trailer during Afternoon On 3 for In Tune and the 'live' trailer during In Tune for the evening concert. Desperate attempts not to lose us I guess.

I guess it could mean that they will be permitted to revert to presenting the knowledgeable sides of themselves for which they were originally taken on, presumably

... but evidently still hard for them not to utter the word 'beautiful' in advance of our hearing the piece.

Maybe some (mentioning no names) are simply voicing their thoughts while looking in the studio mirror ?

From what I hear, CBH must have been on the shampoo this morning. I'm told that she pronounced Elisabeth Schwarzkopf's name as if she were a hair product.

Brunette?

(Edited above post to avoid being hoist on my own petard with my spelling of Elisabeth, but too late, as it's been quoted by cloughie. Fergie would be reaching for the hairdryer. Which reminds me that a friend of mine had a German teacher called Herr Dreier. How their sides ached.)

I thought she got her tongue round it rather well.

I guess we should remember to give him thanks for stopping the dreaded phone-in...before asking to restore the BBC Third Programme :)
