Originally posted by french frank View PostBill Nicholls, who used to be involved with the recording of TTN and the BBC's presenter links, has posted here in the past but as far as I can see he has now moved on. I also had the impression that the music was simultaneously broadcast by the BBC to all the receiving EBU countries, with the pre-recorded language links inserted in real time in musicless gaps. If there were no links that would have been the same for all Notturno broadcasts then.
I'm not sure it is simultaneous everywhere these days - R3's TTN plays the 3 blocks in a different order to Notturno, (R3 usually has the longer pieces first).
Austrian radio's Notturno tends to have variants on the pieces / order played & is short on announcements (but not regular News) - they also have under 5 hours to fill.
The Swedish Notturno often have bird song (Tweeting) where some of the major announcements would be between blocks, but short announcements betwixt peices.
For example... this morning's Ö1's Notturno "Ö1 Nachtmusik" started with Rossini, Chopin, Bartok, Dvorak, Monteverdi, Neruda, Glazunov, Warlock...
Sweden's Sverigersradio P2 Notturno followed the EBU Notturno listing and started with Rossini, Glazunov, Neruda, Bartok, Warlock, Chopin, Dvorak, Monteverdi...
Our R3 TTN ended with... Rossini, Glazunov , Neruda, Bartok, Warlock, Chopin, Dvorak, Monteverdi.
BTW Ö1 often put more information (e.g. titles of movements) in the on-line listings than R3 (although the R3 listings used to be much better).

Originally posted by french frank View PostThank you, AD, that's useful information. I'd assumed that the BBC team still puts the various blocks together, acting as a hub for EBU and non-EBU broadcast material. Who knows? Perhaps even that isn't true now.
The EBU Notturno website does say:
The programme is produced by the BBC Notturno team and relayed via the Euroradio Live over IP Network and mixed with local, pre-recorded announcements. No commercial CDs are used, and the rights for the offers are cleared in advance.
I haven't done a timing comparison between the various broadcast to see if the announcer gaps are consistent between pieces...

An absolute gem of a performance of Fauré’s wonderful second Piano Quintet in Monday morning’s TTN
It starts at 00:53:00 on Sounds. I’ve listened to it three times already and have heard and understood anew this elusive but mesmerising piece"...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..."

Through the Night continues to shine in an otherwise dreich R3.
Thoroughly enjoying this morning's TTN - John Shea is as interesting, "invisible" & waffle-free as ever.
Finlandia, LvB's Violin Concerto (Pinchas Zukerman), Dvorak 8, Machaut "La Messe de Nostre Dame" (Oxford Camerata) & Bach Cello suite 2... for starters.
