As is usual with Notturno, they're out of sequence with our UK broadcasts (or ours are with theirs) - the longer pieces don't start until the second 2 hour segment (which is where the as advertised R3 TTN would have started, "Trio Nova plays music by Brahms, Fauré and Ullén").

This morning, with all the usual crassness eliminated, we have Radio 3 more or less as it should be. No yucky programmes from 5 until 7. No Saturday Breakfast with the other EA. Just fine music with appropriate announcements.
It’s a pity it also involved the removal of Record Review, but this will be mended on a later Saturday.
The BBC can do things properly if they want to.

Why however are we deprived of the more educational programs - the missing COTW could easily have been slotted in for exaple

It seems the BBC has decided on a policy of not allowing listeners and viewers to think of these days as normal times. Arguably a slightly Victorian view of 'mourning', though (as I've posted elsewhere) I think it's a politically-motivated and defensve choice, given the hostility quietly brewing on the Tory benches.

The BBC doesn't seem to realize - or won't accept - that it's no longer the supreme arbiter of public taste that it once was or thought it was. It obviously didn't hear, or chose to ignore, the estimable Mr. Hislop's pronouncement of the death of deference, which he maintained was one of the great achievements of the 1960s.

I’ve found this account written by Sissons himself of those events. He was a hugely respected journalist and I don’t doubt the accuracy of his recall of events.
That's the astonishing order newsreader Peter Sissons was given by BBC bosses as he prepared to tell Britain the Queen Mother had died.
Interestingly his final paragraph backs up your point LMcD !Last edited by Ein Heldenleben; 10-04-21, 12:46.

Bit of a b#gger's muddle today on Through the Night! Could there be light at the end of the tunnel? Is Saturday's 2 hours of drivel no more???
The R3 listings page claims TTN was only 4 hours long, but it definitely has listings for the full 6 hours that were broadcast - and, more importantly, they were!
If you fancy brushing up on your Swedish, you can hear the whole of TTN (with our final segment first)...
Here's what was unexpectedly broadcast on Radio 3:
05:01 Charles Gounod; Overture to Mireille; Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, Oliver Dohnanyi (conductor)
05:08 George Enescu; Konzertstuck in F for viola and piano (1906); Gyozo Mate (viola), Balazs Szokolay (piano)
05:18 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; Partita in B flat (K.Anh.C 17`2); Festival Winds
05:32 Fanny Mendelssohn; Allegro moderato (Song without words), Op 8 No 1 (1840); Sylviane Deferne (piano)
05:38 Antonio Vivaldi; Concerto for lute, 2 violins & continuo in D major, RV.93; Nigel North (lute), London Baroque, John Toll (organ)
05:49 Maurice Ravel; Introduction and allegro; Tinka Muradori (flute), Josip Nochta (clarinet), Paula Ursic (harp), Zagreb String Quartet
06:00 Niccolo Jommelli; Miserere in D minor; Sandrine Piau (soprano), Carlo Vistoli (counter tenor), Raffaele Giordani (tenor), Salvo Vitale (bass), Coro e Schola gregoriana Ghislieri, Ghislieri Orchestra, Giulio Prandi (conductor)
06:21 Johann Sebastian Bach; Concerto in the Italian style for keyboard in F major BWV 971; Christian Ihle Hadland (piano)
06:34 Joseph Haydn; String Quartet in G major Op 77 No 1; Australian String Quartet, William Hennessy (violin), Douglas Weiland (violin), Keith Crellin (viola), Janis Laurs (cello)

... it's back!
Turning on at 5:20 this morning anticipating the awfulness of Tearjerker, Piano Flow, or Happy Harmonies and ready to switch to the World Service - Mozart (attrib) wind music, and then Catriona Young introducing Vivaldi. And the website informing me that I was listening to Through the Night ..
Is this a result of the demise of the Dook? Or a silent admission of a misjudgment by R3 management?

'BBC Radio 3 Schedules' got it right as far as today's concerned, showing TTN ending at 0700.
