'pride ourselves on Breakfast on playing the unusual, the forgotten, the obscure....'
So said Petroc T (briefly called Patrick last night by a fellow presenter) this morning. Fortunately I was neither eating nor drinking at the time of this pronouncement.Comment

I do wonder whether this might have been prefiguring a new executive intention.Originally posted by oddoneout View Post
Looking at this morning's effort, there are still, erm, 'surprising'
items (which don't particularly delight me), but they are - I think - of a slightly different species from Star Wars and Goldfinger:
Trio Trad: Les Bras de Mer Performer: Catrin Finch. Performer: Seckou Keita
Urban Trad: Sekstur from Vendsyssel / The Peat Dance Ensemble: Danish String Quartet
Joseph Parry: Myfanwy - trad. Welsh, arr. for male-voice chorus Choir: Morriston Orpheus Choir
but also:
Donizetti: Concertino in B flat for clarinet and orchestra
Fux: Intrada in C major
Elfrida Andree: Symphony No.2 in A minor - iii. Presto
Franz Xaver Biebl: Ave Maria
York Bowen: Reverie d'amour for piano
plus others that aren't played every week …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.Comment

On Friday morning a listener requested some of Verdi's Force of Destiny. That's good, I thought, I don't know that.
Clemmy said they couldn't but instead would play the Grand March from Aida
How original!
How CFM!

Which is exactly why the programme should not be soliciting requests. It is not a request programme. Or shouldn't be.Originally posted by Flay View PostOn Friday morning a listener requested some of Verdi's Force of Destiny. That's good, I thought, I don't know that.

Did they actually say 'But not the Overture'? Radio 3 has the Overture …Originally posted by Flay View PostOn Friday morning a listener requested some of Verdi's Force of Destiny. That's good, I thought, I don't know that.

Continual puzzlement as to why they bother with these requests, especially if they mention them just in order to say they're not going to play them.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

It's hard not to conclude that, like the musical selections that can't possibly be intended to be listened to or welcoming into a new musical world, the same must go for the presenters coming to be part of some general aural wallpaper, details of which are overlooked (or whatever the equivalent word appliied to listening would be)..Originally posted by french frank View PostComment

I've had another listen.Originally posted by french frank View Post It was actually a request for "some Verdi" but then the Force was discussed so I assumed this would be its cue. But no, Clemmy then said they couldn't manage to fit it into the show today... But why is it alway Aida as the default?
She did play a brass band version as a variation. I can't say it did much for me or my blood pressure.
(My spell checker keeps wanting to change Clemmy to Clammy
)

Maybe try giving it La clemenza di Tito and see how it responds...Originally posted by Flay View PostI've had another listen.

I see from the playlist that this morning's listeners had another bit of brassband Verdi this morning, by request (Grimethorpe this time): the overture from, er, The Force of DestinyOriginally posted by Flay View Post
