BBC Radio 3 streaming

[David Ayers]

A prop for BBC Radio 3 internet streaming. For those who don't know, numerous BBC programs are available for a week after transmission via this website. There are a number of jazz programs which you can easily find. Of the classical it is all a matter of taste, but I'd single out Afternoon Performance for varied orchestral/choral repertoire, Performance on 3 for mainstream concerts, CD Review for, er, CD reviews, Lunchtime Performance for song, piano and chamber recitals, and Composer of the Week for in depth (5 program) investigation.

Definitely a way to hear lots of stuff without buying CDs. You can use the schedule page to decide what you want to hear - where the program is still online (generally 7 days) there is a link on the page for that edition of the program and you can go directly from there. You can also link directly from the BBC Radio Player.

This is a public service announcement!

PS A very useful reference archive of mostly mainstream works indexed by composer can be found at Discovering Music. This program features (usually) single compositions discussed in depth.

i particularly love 'through the night' and 'choral evensong'. heard a fabulous andrew hill concert with full orchestra a couple years ago, and, of course, the proms every fall.
