According to the new schedule, Rob's Gold Standard is for two editions only - first on Sat 2 April.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. -

Presumably a snazzy way of say Rob's Favourites?"...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..."

Wasn't the Gold Standard abandoned because it caused an extended and world-wide depression?Originally posted by Caliban View PostI noticed that... What the ******** **** *** is that supposed to represent?!

... indeed so - tho' some of us think the rot set in with the abandonment of the Bimetallic Standard in 1873.Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post

It suffers from the usual problem of having no advance playlist - which means it may be fine if you just want to listen to unspecified 'music'. The playlist seems to be incomplete. Does the Mephisto Waltz really take over an hour???It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

This morning's Jonathan Swain playlist also has chunks missing - amazingly, the star attraction the BAL winner and Holst's Egdon Heath. Is it just me or should the presenter not have some responsibility here?Originally posted by french frank View PostComment

Is what just you? I don't think you're expected to check the playlist for them.Originally posted by antongould View Post
I don't know what the system is now - the weekend Breakfast playlists were usually delayed until the following week, so I took it some IT person was supposed to update it when they came into work after the weekend; but now the lists appear earlier.. Perhaps presenters are supposed to press the appropriate button after they've played a piece so that the playlist rolls up as the programme progresses. I can imagine they hold back the BaL winner until after RR has been broadcast - but that suggests the rest of the playlist is ready before that.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

I don’t think the presenters have anything to do with publishing the playlist. I guess the list is ‘generated’ in some kind of a non-human method as the programme progresses.Originally posted by antongould View PostComment

Probably you are correct, but I would like to think that if I was presenting a "show" on national radio I would ensure the playlist was correct ......Originally posted by doversoul View PostComment

Do the presenters have access to the production of ‘Music Played’ playlist?Originally posted by antongould View Post
Even with live programmes like Saturday Classics and Sunday Morning (or are they pre-recorded?), the presenters clearly have the list of works to be played prior to the broadcast. So why can’t all programmes have the list like that one comes under ‘Show more’ on Through the Night and Record Review?Comment

I don't honestly know - but I feel they should have, with the producer, the ultimate responsibility .....Originally posted by doversoul View Post
A couple of asides - The Squire has just told the story of the rediscovery of a group of Haydn String Quartets in the 1980s and then played a different one than he announced .... and
He has just informed the other listener and I that this morning's programme was put together on Thursday .... when the sun was shining ....Comment
