I thought I'd have an extended listen to Through The Night for a change, starting at about 0430 (I've never quite got the hang of this 8 hours' sleep business) and must say I've enjoyed the selection of pieces very much - AND the introductions have been brief but informative, and there have been NO TRAILERS or requests for listener interaction (hooray!).

I'm not absolutely sure that I didn't dream this but I think John Shea said or implied somewhere about 03.14 – 03.39am on today's (Monday) programme that the information about the composers that he had been given didn't quite match his knowledge about them. Does this suggest that there is more to all those mistakes and errors made by other presenters lately? Unless I was half asleep and got this all wrong.

He said that according to the information he had in front of him that was the title of the piece but he didn’t think it sounded particularly solemn (it didn’t to me ) and wondered if something had been lost in translation.

Well, certainly the 6-til-noon section. Save a bit of money on presenters, too.“Music is the best means we have of digesting time." — Igor Stravinsky

A-HA! Czeching the website list of compositions by Jan Levoslav Bella, the only "Overture in Eb" is the Koncertná predohra of 1872-73. The various online Czech-English translations I've consulted all give this in English as "Concert Overture".
