Keith Jarrett, Ilse Weber, Sean Connery and Traitors with Claudia Winkleman. Just a few things we'll be weaving into Friday's Breakfast BBC Radio 3. And the dawn chorus was recorded in Mexico, the endemic Oaxaca Sparrow. Nearly the weekend. Happy Friday!

We're in Greek mythological mode in the BBC Radio 3 Playlister today. It's Josef Holbrooke's ballet Pandora, based on the myth of Pandora failing to keep the lid on her box (or jar), and allowing some less than great things out of it. Oh - and trapping hope inside..
