This time it is Elizabetian time. I enjoyed the probramme very much. I loved Bull's phantasia for virginals. j
The whole programme (Monday) was very pleasing.

Well yer lordship
I voted for it to be moved so yer workin clarses - like me - could hear it. But not plonked in the middle of the evening so everything else had to be cut-and-pasted round it. 6.30 would have done me fine - an hour less of Sean's relentlessly cringeworthy questioning - and the evening concert at the normal 'live' time of 7.30 (so we could pretend), the interval talk - erm, let me see - ah! during the interval, another giant leap for mankind!. Sure, some nice chamber music after Night Waves (the token elephant-in-the-room Arts programme), then Later Junction/Mixing It at 10.45 when all the retired folk are tucked up in bed, and I can unwind with a fag and a scotch.
Perhaps one day.

I was indeed very pleased to hear it, but I do think we should have a live concert in real time. For one thing I have work to do in the evenings (marking students' work and reading other people's manuscripts and writing my own) and I can't do that while listening to an instructive programme. Maybe it's sacrilege to do that kind of thing during a concert, but it can be done, and I do enjoy it.

suggest gabrielle immediately replaces the comptroller, who will soon be out on his neck anyway...actually i like shaun rafferty (especially when he has mitsuko uchida on). but the programme does go on a bit. that time schedule would solve all the outrage aut butchering AK and LJ as well as the concern about the change to the 7.30 performance time, so we can have live concerts as stated.
have just signed up and notice you can't say anything abusive or defamatory...so how can you possibly describe the sunday sequence programme that replaced andy k? someone talking through messaien.WHAT???!
even if it was auden poetry (but read with a sentimental truly madly deep voice). is our culture high point radio show to be reduced to a laughing stock in this way? the comptroller should be sacked with no further written warnings just for this one show.

I was driving between clients at midday, and was able to hear CotW - and very fine music it was, and great background griff too. However, as I am listening to it again now - on the wireless, not LA - it occurs to me to wonder what those who are normally able to listen to it at 12.00 think about it being repeated that same evening?
I know that several R4 programmes are repeated - Does He Take Umbrage, Daily Mail Readers Whingeing About Endowments, The Archers etc - but not on the same day (I think). Is there any point in repeating CotW any more? Or would a different programme show at midday merely deprive us of something else yer workin' clarses wouldn't be able to hear?
What do you think?

Well, there are always going to be so daytime programmes that won't be available to the workers except through listen again ( how's that for stating the obvious ) But the whole status of COTW having a repeat is a bit weird in these days of listen again. And now they have added the Early Music Show to the repeat roster. Presumably it is a bit of cheap programming but it is annoying when there could have been space for one of the culled shows. Didn't they repeat Private Passions on the same weekend at one time ( god only knows why ) ?

Is there any point in repeating CotW any more? Possibly not but I have to say it suits me very nicely. Even those of us in the leisured aristocracy can't always manage to listen at 1200 every day (trouble with the servants perhaps or if I'm opening a fete or something). Two potential shots at it a day suits me perfectly. Like many others though, I'd be even happier for it to be "9.30 or whenever the live evening concert finishes, whichever is the later". |

Ho! I agree with George. Later would be better. It is really odd to have such a regular programme repeat slap bang in the middle of what is probably peak listening time. Cheers  |

My feelings exactly. Live concert (generally 7.30) with an interval, followed by CotW, or even with Night Waves preceding it - that would be ideal.

I'm very pleased that the repeat is on at a reasonable hour so that I can listen in the evening after work.
I note from BBC Music that sometime in March, the composer of the week is Liszt. Good.

Episode 1: Musical Colossus
Didn't somebody say that if the medium had been available, Wagner would have been producing movies?
In large amounts I find his music is like being beaten about the ears with an orchestral mallet, but just like Mr.Kipling's Cakes, it is rather good Embarrassed
Cue smoke! Cue flashes! and ... roll cameras!

Listening to it now in the late showing - dull, and not very good recordings. Sorry.
