I've just caught up with this thread and quite a lot has happened since my last post. I hadn't intended to give Anton more work to do and I apologise if that's how it came over. I was simply curious as to whether my suspicions that EC plays a small number of pieces over and over was borne out by the stats.
Thank you to Andrew and ferney for the links to the database and I will be very happy to investigate the info myself. And thanks again, Anton, for all of your work in compiling the list.

From this morning: Moog should rhyme with vogue and not sound like a cow. Also the H in Hilaire Belloc is pronounced, but at least Ian Skelly corrected himself the second time.
On a more positive note, I really enjoyed hearing hearing Boellmann's Toccata again. Having not heard it for a very long time, I'd almost forgotten it, but it was a favourite of mine as a teenager in the 1970s on an LP called The King of Instruments. Maybe I was a Goth before it became fashionable.

I remember it well (though not who played it, and the sleeve doesn't help!).
PS: Nicholas Danby, at Blenheim Palace, according to this listing:
I have a different EMI recording in a French 2CD set called Grandes Toccates pour orgue (played by Guy Morançon at Rouen). It's time to give it a spin!

That's the one! I still have it, though I am sure I haven't played it for over 40 years. I must give it a spin.

As Skellers was Broadcasting EC from his own home today - probably propped up in his own bed - there is obviously no technical reason to drag the presenters up to Salford or BH in the future. I always thought it a bit off that poor old Martin Handley was expected to travel from his home in Kent up to Salford on a Saturday afternoon just to do Sunday morning Breakfast. Going to save themselves a few bob on expenses.O Wort, du Wort, das mir Fehlt!
