Through the Night

And let's not forget John White's Cello and Tuba Machine, though I doubt that'll get airtime under the Sam regime.

Bring back an all-nighter Satie Vexations, I say!

I'll keep on repeating that....

And it would still finish long before Cage's Organ2/ASLAP has had its next note played, which will occur on Aug 5th 2026. The last note, if you remember was played on Feb 5th this year. The whole work will be completed in 2640.

Another 6 hour Saturday TTN listing for 1st June - the drivel has gone!!! Hopefullly.

It's looking hopeful that the drivel has gone - we now have four 6 hours Saturday TTNs...
Fingers crossed that tomorrow's TTN is the final 4 hour one.

Here's June the 8th.

I see it started at 2.30 this morning instead of 3.00. But it's stll not really through the Night , is it. I did enjoy the Tchaikovsky while lying in bed, though Billy was wanting me to get up and give him his 'Felix'.

Here's what we missed this morning

And I heard R3 peddling the idea, without evidence, that 'Essential Classics [is a] mix to boost mental wellbeing, featuring a selection of tracks to help you feel soothed and calm'.

No different than a current tv ad for a brand of fabric conditioner that leaves your kitchen drier blasting sunshine into the kitchen from its open appliance door,,,!

Frankly, after wrestling with the current schedule map, I strongly feel that without proper AUDIENCE consultation, we have been seriously betrayed and abandoned by the BBC / R3 management.

Did they re-sort the schedule over a casual afternoon mug of tea with ESP the Radio 2 team?

The evenings have been particularly screwed up.

Not looking forward to winter 24/25 mix at all.

No chance of them delivering us Penderecki's Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima then.

According to BBC Genome, it was included in TTN on 3rd September 2005, and hasn't been aired on Radio 3 since 1st January 2016, when it formed part of Episode 3 of a series called 'New Year, New Music'. These 2 performances (different orchestras) were both introduced by Jonathan Swain. There are 22 'hits' in all on the Genome for this work, including a request sent into 'The Young Idea' that was played on 30th September 1969 in an episode inspired (if that's the right word) by war.
