I suppose they feel that 4 hours of garbage (6.30-10.30am) is the limit of what they can risk without losing their 'reputation' …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.

But yes, I agree - I enjoyed hearing that for the first time. Lovely slow movement.
And Milstein is one of the very few violinists I could listen to all day and all night - sovereign playing. Just right.

I am ashamed to say, and this is really lowering the tone, I was confusing him with the Conservative ex-MP for Braintree who went off-piste with his mobile phone. I always try to get my references right but I think on this occasion I failed miserably ...
Glad to hear that Mr Goldmark's handiwork was appreciated by others, anyway.

Currently taking refuge at RAI FD5 Auditorium (albeit with flaky reception as I write) as I really don't want to hear the slow mvt of Schubert's Quintet, as requested by this morning's R3 guest: but that's just me!
The thought occurs that RAI is state funded, yet does not seem to share the BBC's need to water down its morning R3 output. I wonder how listening stats compare.

Originally posted by Don Petter View PostI've never heard any ads on RAI RadioFD5, which is what we are talking about here, isn't it? Just brief announcements between works.
No ads but just music details so far.
But sounds like a jittery CD just now; think it's their problem as Minnesota Public Radio fine, so not a connection problem at my end.

Could there be a performance of Holst's "The Planets" coming up v.soon at the Proms?
I rarely listen to R3 these days but by chance last night I caught Trelawny plugging the Proms by playing "Jupiter".
Just 14 hours later, as I passed the radio in the kitchen (which we keep on to deter any potential burglars) I hear RC introduce er..."Jupiter".
This is partly why I find very little to enjoy on R3 now - it has become so self-referring that it has become a parody of itself, almost as if the producers and "jocks" are only there to promote each other's programmes. The audience is viewed as incidental and is gradually disappearing into the background.
Or, in my case, elsewhere completely.Last edited by Bax-of-Delights; 17-07-15, 10:50.O Wort, du Wort, das mir Fehlt!

If your kitchen radio is tuned to R3 in the morning it will certainly deter any potential classical-music-loving burglars. Double protection!"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
