      The 'music' I caught for 15 seconds was just awful - to my taste - and it was so disapointing not to have heard something classical. I resent this incursion into R3, feel sad and angry about it.

      (Aunt Daisy, I like your little 'campaign' btw.)

        I'm happy to say that I've succeeded in giving up being sad and angry, but I might occasionally shrug my shoulders in the French manner - so much more elegant than rolling one's eyes!

          Yes, and I fear Night Tracks is being turned into a Late Junction poor relation too.
          Box ticking by R3 editors in advance of Charter Review?

            Yes, definitely more elegant, but I'm not great at shrugging (dodgy shoulder)...
            Perhaps we need a R3 "gilets jaunes"-esque revolt? Hordes of irate R3 listeners clad in hand-tooled leather Radio Times covers?
            Free the TTN 2 (hours)!

              Shrugging very much allowed - save a couple for Lizzie’s Croissant Corner which can be be a pain!

                    There's a CROISSANT CORNER? I would ask for suggestions as to how this could be developed were I not afraid that somebody associated with the programme might actually read, and adopt, some of them.

                      A bright, sparkling and inventive TTN last night, more or less throughout. Is it the festival season which seems to raise the game of R3 programmes?

                      Constantin Régamey ::Quintet for clarinet, bassoon, violin, cello and piano :: an unknown gem for me. 12 tone technique, and composed after he fled Warsaw, in 1944.

                        I caught that too - listening blind, I seriously wondered, who could this be by?

                          Since TTN relies wholly on broadcasts of live music from its 'contributing' stations, and others, I guess there's been a bit of a dearth of exciting new material in the last 17 months. Having said that, I find TTN constantly rewarding, and for me the best thing on the station.

                          I missed the Regamey, but may seek it out. There's often a rara avis about in the early hours.

                            This jolly flute concerto, by a supposed pupil of Vivaldi, cheered my early morning. John Shea suggested that his music had featured before on TTN, but it has passed me by. Collegium Marianum have championed Jiranek, and recorded him commercially, he said.

                              New to me as well -thanks kernelbogey for pointing it out.

                              JS is right, Collegium Marianum have appeared several times (TTN search or wider Radio 3)
                              There was also an Early Music Show with Les Muffatti performing Oboe Concerto in B flat & Flute Concerto in G.

                                Les Illuminations by Britten sung by Julia Bullock.
                                I thought that I knew this for tenor or baritone: is there an alternative version, or am I getting mixed up with the Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings?

                                Edit: Wiki provides the answer:
                                The cycle was originally written for a soprano; Britten's biographer David Matthews comments that the work is "so much more sensuous when sung by the soprano voice for which the songs were conceived".[1] Nevertheless the work can be, and more often is, sung by a tenor: Britten conducted the piece with Peter Pears as soloist within two years of the premiere.
