No half-hearted affair, at the risk of groans I would venture "pulling all the stops out"...

A splendid and varied programme, thank you for the link.
Organ and choir sound to be on fine form in today’s CE. Plenty of subtle hushed singing which can then broaden out to thrilling fortes; especially shown in the superb interpretation of the psalms with appropriate colouring from the organ. Thank you Norwich.

Andrew (Record Review) has just told us that CE tomorrow is live!
More evidence of the ever-expanding meaning of the word (in the R3 lexicon, that is).

More evidence that if a dubious truth is repeated often enough it will come to be accepted as truth. The meaning of "live" has been elastic for quite some time now with respect to R3 output, and when a recording is listed as a live broadcast in the online schedules (as is now always the case with the Sunday repeat of a live Wednesday CE, the (R) appearing only on the summary version and not at all on the expanded version) it's not surprising that it becomes undifferentiated.
It would now appear that a recording of a live broadcast(such as CE and concerts) is live as well in BBC land. Thing is that in such circumstances I don't take kindly to being misled and fobbed off(which is how I perceive it, rightly or wrongly); if a broadcast is listed as live then it damn well ought to be really live - cock-ups, coughs, over-runs and all. Finding out when the introduction is made is bad enough but since I tend to tune out preliminary blurb to avoid ads etc I don't always pick that up.
Mutter mutter...
I shall enjoy the repeat "not live" broadcast of CE tomorrow, having also enjoyed the (proper) live version on Wednesday.

Exactly - so imagine what it's like posting (as I do with CE services) when you really cannot be sure what [R] or [L] truly means when keeping listeners informed!

Totally agree. Live should be live. If it's not live I won't listen

Well quite.
As the (R) only appears on the single line listing - under "Live from Norwich Cathedral..." in this case - you are doomed to miss it when wanting to pick up the details of the service in question from a different page which omits that information completely.
I don't understand why they do that for CE when the small, specialist, audience will be clued up about the status of the broadcast - live on Wednesday(if you're lucky), but always a repeat on Sunday, except that it's now standard R3 practice to mislead about whether something is genuinely live so CE gets caught up in that net.
