R3 or Classic FM?

[mikealdren]

So I've been listening to the Radio for a couple of hours or so and heard (amongst other things)

Georges Bizet
L'Arlésienne Suite no.1 (Carillon)
George Gershwin
Strike up the Band
Ralph Vaughan Williams
The Wasps (Ballet and Final Tableau)
Paul Dukas
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Misha Mullov-Abbado
Little Astronaut
Frédéric Chopin
Waltz in E flat major Op.18 'Grande valse brillante'
Paul Dukas
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Zoltán Kodály
Prelude (Hary Janos Suite Op.35a)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Serenade in G major, K 525, 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik' (4th mvt)
Susan Spain-Dunk
Lament for string orchestra
Antonín Dvořák
Rusalka, Op. 114: Song to the Moon
Antonio Vivaldi
Concerto in A minor for 2 violins RV.523
Joaquín Rodrigo
Concierto de Aranjuez (1st mvt)
George Frideric Handel
March (Judas Maccabeus)
Nigel Hess
Ladies in Lavender
Zoltán Kodály
Intermezzo (Hary Janos Suite, Op.35a)
Rebecca Dale
Winter
Michel Legrand
The Windmills of Your Mind

Which channel was I listening to?
Interesting how Harry Janos can appear twice in such a short time, is it a theme or don't the programme planners don't talk to each other, at least I heard different movements!

R3 In Tune & Classical Mixtape from yesterday, but CFM sounded more likely

Well the Misha Mullov-Abbado was R3 on Breakfast as I heard it...

You're right, Breakfast it was. How strange, it was also on In Tune the day before.
Lazy planning or a plot?

... at first I thought your examples were a bit extreme : sadly, you have proved your point only too well!

... at first I thought your examples were a bit extreme : sadly, you have proved your point only too well!

Unfortunately - as least from my point of view - the 'Breakfast' playlist is increasingly filled with what I suppose one must call well-loved classical favourites. One consequence is that I now tune in later and tune out earlier.

[hmvman]

At first I thought it must be CFM but then I spotted the piece by Susan Spain-Dunk and thought that wouldn't be a CFM piece. And S S-D has been played on Breakfast before.

Et tu, Brute?

I had a suspicion that might be the case when I realised that I didn't always pick up when Breakfast had become EC. The change of voice(male to female) doesn't necessarily immediately register due to the extraneous interference from trailers etc that is a feature of R3 these days, and which has got me into the bad habit of tuning out a lot of content.

[LMcD]

Et tu, Brute?

I'm afraid so.

[Ein Heldenleben]

On Music Map for the fourth time this month the overplayed Greig Wedding Day at T. etc - a very thin piece which is now supposedly the vehicle for musical exploration - the core piece in the programme believe it or not . In fact we get a lot of wedding related classical music - pieces which have nothing musically in common.
And now that dreadful song Love and Marriage sung by Peggy Lee. A really poor piece of pop song writing with a terrible contrived rhyme in the first couplet and an almost as bad one in the second.


What is going on at Radio 3 ?

As I've just mentioned on another thread, Music Map is, according to SM-P, a' show'.
There also seemed to be more 'popular classics' than ever on Sarah Walker's programme (or 'show') this morning.
I quite like Frank Sinatra's version of 'Love and Marriage', but wouldn't expect it to turn up on Radio 3 (unless, possibly, it was chosen by a guest on 'Private Passions').

How long before the show's over, one wonders.

Frank singing that song given his marital behaviour is one of the all time great ironies.

He also recorded the Gershwins' "But not for Me".
