They are not on the tracklists on Sounds which I thought would be the best place! Am I in a minority of listeners who are interested in the performers as well as the pieces?

They're all detailed on the programme homepage, which I assume updates as the pieces are played? That was the case pre-Sounds:

BBC Radio 3 - Essential Classics, Suzy Klein

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000tnlf

Refresh your morning with a great selection of classical music.

They're just not on the Sounds page itself:

BBC Sounds

Listen without limits, with BBC Sounds. Catch the latest music tracks, discover binge-worthy podcasts, or listen to radio shows – all whenever you want

Yes in full detail thanks ff BUT not very convenient to have to keep switching pages.

Suzy K is currently interviewing Georgia M on her plans for next week. Comment is superfluous...

You're a day late!

What this programme needs is somebody who knows his or her music, has a pleasant 'broadcasting voice', has a nice line in self-deprecation and - very importantly - has a sense of humour. Luckily, Georgia fits the bill in every respect and I'm sure she will prove to be an admirable replacement for Ian.

I agree with you LMcD - think she’ll do a good job.

You misunderstand me, Sir ... he did indeed fit the bill in every respect and I'm very sorry he was moved, but luckily Georgia was there to fill the gap.

I think she’s playing quite a sober selection of music - I wonder if , as unlike most presenters she’s also a producer , she’s more involved in music selection. Even played some John Foulds and John Ireland ... enjoying it

It was a good start. Just so long as she doesn't take lessons from schoolmarm SK and start gushing and over-enthusing as if addressing an audience of pre-schoolers.
