@davidjswinson @RoyalHolloway Very many congratulations!

[David Thorne @DavidThorne62]

@recordedcm Those were the days!

Many will be critical of Friday Night is Music Night airing on @BBCRadio3, but what a joy to hear music of a lighter genre highlighting the versatility of the @BBCCO enhanced by a talented technical team allowing intricate orchestrations to be captured so superbly! Thank you!

@BBCRadio3 Just listening to yesterday’s spirited Evensong from @KingsCollegeLon without any peak distortion at all. Such a pity that last week’s splendid broadcast from Winchester was marred by peak distortion, especially in the Gloria of the Howells- even on the repeat.

Despite any misgivings I might personally have in relation to
BBCRadio 3, I can’t understand why comments were fired in the first place at the listener below!?

Browsing through the Radio Times, very pleased to see the return of Compline at 9.30 on R3 for the Season of Lent.

@davidhconductor @StPaulsLondon @BBCRadio3 I must admit that the Barry
Rose balance of ChoralEvensong when at St. Paul’s and elsewhere are
much more to my liking.

@BBCRadio3 @annalapwood The comments relating to Gb in #WhatSweeterMusic played within the broadcast are most significant. The #ThorneMass setting, now included in the #RevisedEnglishHymnal, was conceived in Db, but non mention was felt unnecessary by some of the editors!

[David Thorne @DavidThorne62]

There might be a few who might be grateful of a reminder of #Compline broadcast on @BBCRadio3 on a Monday. Last week’s liturgy was sung by #SingledeOro under the direction of @PatrickAllies.

@ClassicFM What an illuminating and moving programme hosted by #MoiraStuart on Sunday evening featuring @Keir_Starmer as not only a proficient musician himself but moreover the way he emphasised the significance of music in everyday life! Available on Catch Up.

@PortsCathChoir One of the finest solos I’ve heard throughout the years within a service in any Cathedral or place of worship!

[David Thorne @DavidThorne62]

@BBCRadio3 Very sneaky completing the excellent daytime thematic sequence marking #ShakespeareDay with organ music by John Bull bearing in mind its transmission day of a Wednesday, normally reserved for #ChoralEvensong.

Wonderful to hear @davidjswinson @BBCRadio3 talking about @TrinityCroydon @TrinityBoysChoi & much look forward to hearing them @bbcproms performing #Mahler @tim_garrard @barnabylenon

[David Thorne @DavidThorne62]

@TrinityBoysChoi @davidjswinson @bbcproms ‘Live from Glyndebourne…..?!’

[David Thorne @DavidThorne62]

@BBCRadio3 Hearing Rachmaninov’s First Symphony on tonight’s #Prom took me back to my youth when I would watch #Panorama not necessarily for its content but more to hear the fanfare at the beginning of the final movement played with great vigour by the superb @BBCPhilharmonic.

[David Thorne @DavidThorne62]

@andrewCDmcg @bbcproms @annalapwood @BBCRadio3 As ever, the presentation was superb, but with respect, had I not been home late, I would have switched off as this was obviously a superb visual concert, but the music alone was not successful in simply holding a radio audience- even with good equipment.

[David Thorne @DavidThorne62]

@BBCRadio3, as much as schedule changes are a necessity during the Proms’ Season, the time of 1.00 pm for the repeat of #ChoralEvensong seems bizarre. Certainly a promotion for #BBCSounds.

[David Thorne @DavidThorne62]

@MusicDiocese @_cathedralmusic He seems to have somewhat changed his tune since the hiatus caused by the pandemic.

[David Thorne @DavidThorne62]

@recordedcm Moreover, an appropriate text bearing the state of the railway system last week….

[David Thorne @DavidThorne62]

@AJPHenderson @StonyhurstMusic @BBCRadio4 I still regret that OUP found it necessary to adapt it!! I just wish I’d written more miniatures, but the MOT has rather overshadowed my limited output!
