Radio 3 dying

[Norfolk Born]

Presumably the last rights were read yesterday by the Breakfast Your Call guest John Saxbee 71st Bisop of Lincoln - who was, at least I thought, not stupid and spoke very movingly about how a music teacher changed his life for ever...........

Last rights - last wrights - or perhaps last rites?

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

...if the universe is beige why should R3 not be?


eh



25% Entropy ... so far

I have an old lp of the "Right of Spring"
is there a "Left of Spring" ? ............... Henze or Cardew maybe ?

The ending of Henze's sixth symphony must come as close to being a Left of Spring that I can think of...

Dum pendebat filius….

Radio3 is under RW’s evil spell and has forgotten what it really is. The spell must be broken but how….. Can’t Rob be persuaded?

By the way, I have a suspicion that the lack of playlists is a deliberate way of getting ‘new’ listeners to casually tune in. These listeners are supposed to have no idea about what’s what so publishing what is going to be played is pointless. Even undesirable as it can put them off with scary foreign names.

A quick glance at next week's schedules shows playlists with timings for EC - someone maybe is taking notice of our concerns!

... many thanks for pointing that out - I may (gingerly) dip my toe in the waters of Radio 3 of a morning if I know what might be on offer...

Nail in the coffin moment.
A couple of weeks (?) back a music professor guest on in tune was told he was getting too technical when explainig the time signature of a piece of music!

[MrGongGong]

Well they can be tricky, key signatures are simple in comparison!
