    And I'm just warning that Richard Tarleton. Now. DO NOT listen!!!

    Seriously , that many pieces - 27 - in 3 hours and no time for even one full-length piece? The playlist could be worse (they regularly are on Breakfast) but really this is only better class wallpaper rather than woodchip. I'm more baffled than angry.
    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.

      TOO LATE!!! (See Tarrega Watch Thread, post #55) I think she did it on purpose; "she only does it to annoy, Because she knows it teases".

      Well - we got the complete Classical Symphony; all 13 minutes of it.

        Well, I did my best, no change me being too late The Boccherini looks to have been over 10 minutes too. And there was "Au fond du temple saint" NOT sung by Jussi Björling and Robert Merrill.

          I wonder how much longer Record Review can last ? It must seriously inconvenience those tuning in on a Saturday morning expecting Music While You Work which is on the other six days of the week in that time slot.

                  I thought her show last Sunday was pretty decent. Some nice links between works, perfect for a longish drive in the car.

                  Which , I suppose , may not be how the thing should be best judged.
                  I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                    For some people that would be the reason to criticise a good deal of the current Radio 3 schedule; they would rather have something to listen to at home rather more attentively than in-car entertainment.

                      That's really what I was driving at in my last line.

                          I'd agree with that. Not how the thing should be judged perhaps but inevitably is. Personally I find Classic FM easier to drive to than BBCR3. Unsurprising as commercial radio advertising is all to do with drivers. Just listen to the ads. You have to concentrate on radio 3. Hard when you're driving sometimes.
                          And the tune ends too soon for us all

                            A Scottish Gaelic folksong this morning, Mo run an diugh mar an de thu , the tune for which sounded uncommonly like the tune to Burns's Ae fond kiss. Anyone know if the two are related?

                              I heard that too, Richard. It also reminded me of what I now discover is Ae Fond Kiss. ( I couldn't even make a stab at the Gaelic)

                              I thought the Gaelic version, as broadcast, was the better performance; I looked up YouTube for the Burns song.

                                I didn't hear it this morning, Richard. Burns seemed to set 'Ae Fond Kiss' to the tune 'Rory Dall's Port' which could be Irish in origin and then headed further north.
                                2 17th Century tunes I learnt a year ago but haven't played recently.

                                I notice that Mo run an diugh mar an de thu (My love today as heretofore) played this morning comes from an LP, The Captain's Collection, the Captain referred to being Capt Simon Fraser who would have been a slightly younger contemporary of Burns. He was a fiddler who collected a couple of hundred songs and released them in a publication 'The Airs and Melodies Peculiar to the Highlands of Scotland' which is where Mo run an diugh mar an de thu seems to have appeared. Burns certainly travelled far and wide collecting songs and then setting his poems to them, so it sounds like this is a tune that has lived a long and varied life in the culture of the Scots. I'd assume it came via the Gaelic first, from the sound of it, but I don't know that. Lovely to hear Alyth McCormack singing - I do enjoy her voice.
