As an am listener I haven’t heard a lark ascending or everyone’s favourite colour of rhapsody for ages .... should I complain .... ????Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post
"Mournful", no, I don't respond in that way.
"Second Rate" - yes, for Sibelius. (But then his "second rate" is better than many other composers' best efforts.)
"Over-broadcast" - as I don't bother with R3 before noon these days, I haven't noticed this. The last time I listened to it was just under a year ago (10th Seot, 2017) and a couple of times in February before that (the composer's own recording) - having not heard the piece in years before that. If it is getting the Lark Ascending treatment, then it's further evidence that my "boycott" is a very good idea.Comment

Today’s ‘Playlist Starter’ is Elgar’s Falstaff. Preceded by Ian Skelly saying ‘well we can’t play it all cos it’s quite long’.
I just thought you might enjoy that.Comment

Like the old days on BBC radio when Tony Blackburn said the other day that he was restricted at one time to singles lasting around two and a half minutes. Maybe R3 think that Rossini overtures are a bit to long too!Originally posted by underthecountertenor View PostComment

It got worse (I was listening in the car) - the chosen piece was the "last part" [sic] of Strauss's Don Quixote. If anything needs to be played whole or not at all.....Originally posted by underthecountertenor View Post
He played a Chicago SO/Barenboim recording. I have an earlier one, the very fine Reiner version with Janigro.Comment

Next they'll be splicing the beginning of Falstaff to the end of Don Quixote, in the manner of a 'cut and shut' car. A Quixstaff, or a Falsote (or Falsequote).Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostComment

I remember when he was on R2 on Saturday mornings - I would turn to him with relief if there was a particularly annoying reviewer on CD Review (as it then was).Originally posted by Stanfordian View PostI love Tony Backburn late night show on R2 that I listen to on Catch Up!Comment

He did tell us that they were all lovable rogues, along with Till (which we were spared
