Outstanding radio from Sarah Walker BBC Radio 3 this morning from Harpa hall in Reykjavik. Such a rich mix of music, guests and stories.

Outstanding radio from one of my favourite places in the world. Well done Sarah Walker Tandem Productions BBC Radio 3 - what an incredible tour this week.

Morning Petroc Trelawny - I missed the credit for the Irish singer performing Winterreise song. I need to get this recording. Can you or your producer BBC Radio 3 let me know? It really was stunning, especially in the shower. Much appreciated.

We beg to differ Petroc Trelawny - there are two avid BBC Radio 3 listeners in this house, both professional musicians, who love ham and pineapple on their pizza.

All the very best Tom McKinney BBC Radio 3 Breakfast. Looking forward to listening. I remember when Sean and Petroc Trelawny first presented. And you’re a birder too, good man.

Thank you Tom McKinney and BBC Radio 3 for the wonderful Sibelius, and on my birthday too. Off for a spot of birding in Epping Forest later. A perfect day.

Thank you Tom McKinney !!!!

Really enjoying Satie day on BBC Radio 3 with Tom Service. One of my favourite composers and have been playing his piano pieces since I was a child. We visited his home in Montmartre a few months ago, magical.
