Weinberg/Vainberg was just short of 40 this year, mainly thanks to finally being COTW. Robert Simpson had his best year since I began my survey with the grand total of 2! Leighton was on 12, Choral Evensong tends to supply the majority of broadcasts. Alkan normally gets in the teens, however this year he was in single figures. Apart from when Miaskovsky was on COTW back in 2009, he's never reached half a dozen!

Ah sorry I didn't spot Vainberg in your post,thanks again sc.

Erm ... I don't suppose ... err ... please?

[EdgeleyRob]

Erm ... I don't suppose ... err ... please?

Probably not many fhg,which is a disgrace.

[Suffolkcoastal]

Ferneyhough got off the mark but barely!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Ferneyhough got off the mark but barely!

Thought as much.

Many thanks, Suffy.

A few figures for Aeolium showing the % of composer totals supplied by the warhorses.

Bernstein - West Side Story & Candide accounted for 57% of his total
Copland - Rodeo & Appalachian Spring accounted for 40% of his total
Debussy - Preludes, Prelude de l'apres midi...., L'isle Joyeuse, La Mer, Clair de Lune = 28% of total
Dvorak - Slavonic Dances & American Quartet = 24% of total
Grieg - Peer Gynt & Holberg Suite = 22% of total
Mendelssohn - A Midsummer Nights Dream, Hebrides Overture, Violin Concerto = 18.5% of total
Prokofiev - Romeo & Juliet & Classical Symphony = 29% of total
Ravel - Alborado..., Mother Goose, Daphnis & Chloe, Piano Concerto, Le Tombeau ..... = 29% of total
Tchaikovsky - Romeo & Juliet, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker = 29% of total

[Nick Armstrong]

It was also a record year for Karl Jenkins, not many pieces, but a sign his music is increasing slowly but surely on R3

He's wall-to-wall tomorrow afternoon

Many thanks, sc. Depressing figures indeed.

Cheers, Suffy!

What a shocking list - depressing, as Aeolium has indicated. With so much air-time and a wealth of diverse music to fill it, these highly-paid R.3 folk choose from lists so short and "safe" that repetition rules,OK?
OK, it is not!

I can provide R.3 with a random number generator to select tracks that fit ( and that have not been played to death).
How would I spend the money saved ? Double the number of works commissioned by R.3, and pay musicians to play this new music, not once but several times.
