I can't say I have any strong feelings about it. It seems to me a quite unexceptionable role. I'm bemused - perhaps I haven't been listening lately - oh … no I haven'tIt 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.

Tuesday Afternoon on 3
Scroll forward 48 minutes, then listen for two minutes. A correction comes after the concerto.

Announcers and Presenters
Petroc Trelawny is still dropping his voice at the end of every sentence, making him inaudible at the best of times. Radio 3 is the only BBC station where presenters' voices are inconsistent.
Rob Cowan nearly always seems to have cold or svere sinusitis and even he sometimes talks in an undertone. As for Elizabeth Alker, i'm sure she is a very nice person but her voice is colourless
and totally unsuited to radio. Why don't people take a leaf out of Radio 4's book? Every announcement is clear, crisp and most of all......audible!

At the outset I confess to being new to this forum - only just discovered it. As a consequence, I apologize if this has been covered!
I do wonder what the point of presenters as opposed to announcers might be. I'm all for talk on R3, from time to time, in fact, I remember hugely informative and thought-provoking lectures from such as Prof. George Porter on thermodynamics, and, I think, Prof. Lawrence Bragg - and, naturally, a host of others. R3 was an education.
One turns to the music programmes for music, not chit-chat - the BBC has plenty of other channels for that sort of thing. Simply the piece, the composer, and the performers is that which is required.
