radiotoday.co.uk/2022/01/bbc-radio-2-brings-more-live-music-with-the-piano-room-month/Twenty artists will perform accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra live from London’s BBC Maida Vale studios. The gigs will be broadcast live in Ken Bruce’s Radio 2 show from Monday 31st January to Friday 25th February. Each artist will perform three tracks – a new song, a classic, and a cover – with members of the BBC Concert Orchestra accompanying alongside them. Following the live shows, each performance will be available to watch live on BBC iPlayer then on demand from 6pm that day and available for 30 days afterwards. In addition to the live broadcasts, an hour-long special will be broadcast on Radio 2 each Sunday (7-8pm) featuring highlights from the previous week’s performances (Sunday 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th February).(slightly amended) It'll be interesting to see what TFF will be doing. "Shout", "The Tipping Point" and "Creep"? Or something a bit less obvious?

Tipping Point seems the most obvious for the new track. I would think one of the songs will have Curt on lead. So, I’d guess Sowing or Everybody as the classic.
I really hope they do a new cover and don’t cart out Creep again.
They’ll also be thinking which songs would work best with an orchestra.

You're right about Curt singing. Guess that means Rule the World - they have done that with orchestra too on the NOTP.
But TTP would be a bit too close musically, so maybe the new song will be No Small Thing. I can imagine the orchestra working well on that.

So what they said in the Q&A sounds more radical than I expected. It's supposed to be piano and orchestra!

They chose a cover of their own song as the cover... lol.
I really liked the stripped-down version of The Tipping Point. STSOL was good but the shortening puzzled me.
