Thanks, Nick. I enjoyed that Estonian concert. Fine Rach 1.

This is just to warn fans of 'Through the Night' that there is no edition of the programme next Saturday (12 November). I wouldn't want anyone to have the unsettling experience I had once when this happened and I switched on at 4 am. (not a time for unpleasant surprises) expecting to be soothed by my favourite programme and heard instead.... I will not say.

Plus both Breakfasts are no-go areas next weekend (pass me the Alker-Seltzer ).
Anyway, gone are the days when one could switch on R3 without checking the schedule first for Unwelcome Sounds…"...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..."

A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Originally posted by french frank View PostThat just sums it up for me. There were the odd (no disrepect!) slots which I was aware of and avoided, but they were few. The joy of Radio 3 for me was that whenever I switched on there was something of interest (music or speech/documentary). Some current presenters demonstrate that style will evolve naturally over time: Patricia Hughes > Penny Gore, Victor Hallam > John Shea. It's when 'bringing the style up to date' and 'modernising it' become deliberate policy, forcing it in the direction management wants in order to achieve its 'goals' that you get uncomfortable/unlistenable changes. They are made to serve the BBC not its audiences.Last edited by kernelbogey; 05-11-22, 17:36.
