    What was it, ts? (And do I win a prize if I guess that it isn't SK presiding this week?)
    Double helping of snippets of GdJ and Gruppen.

      It's not a matter of understanding or not understanding, FGS!

        Made the mistake of switching on five minutes early for COTW. Buckaroo Holiday from Rodeo by Aaron Copland. AAAAARgh.

          But if you switch on early for any programme there is always the risk of hearing something unpleasing to one's ears?

            Of course. And I was not so put out to be hearing something that I would rather not. I was just a bit surprised to hear something quite so cliched even by playlist program standards. But I concede that I should not be so surprised.

              I believe it's a staple of R3 mornings....

                Hard to believe that back in 1958 I’d just discovered Copland and was desperate to find an LP of Rodeo. I’m still slightly miffed that it’s now common as muck

                  I understood your point from the outset - just not the N/S bit.

                    Tom Service's current trail - delivered in his usual breathless style - praising the sheer diversity of the items featured on Essential Classics serves as a useful confirmation that I have better things to do of a morning. While he doesn't confirm that one is most unlikely to hear many substantial items, the implication is clear.

                      Mahler was rare in those days also!

                        I'm ready to be corrected, but I recollect reading or hearing that in the late 1950s/early 1960s the only Mahler available on record was the Adagietto from the 5th symphony.

                          I feel pretty sure that Adler's 3rd and Flipse's 8th were to be had, among others.

                            Released in 1953 and 1954 respectively, it seems. Once again, I'm in your debt!

                                This was mentioned on the Mahler 4 BaL thread a couple of weeks ago
