I don't think this BBC Radio Scotland programme has been mentioned here. O.K it's a bit Essential Classics in its selections, but you do get to hear items from the forthcoming Linn release of Corrine Morris playing Cello works by Haydn Couperin and Monn with the SCO. Note that it's in HD Sound on the iPlayer.

A good point, at which I will leap in with a(n irrelevant) propagandistical response
It reminds me that there are BBC regional and local stations broadcasting 'Essential Classics'-type programmes. If Radio 2 isn't prepared to return to its '100 Best Tunes'/'Melodies for You', there's no reason why Radio 3 should have to be the sole national BBC station expected to broadcast hours and acres of Essential Classics 'easy listening+'.
There's a programme from Northern Ireland, too, I think - or used to be.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -
Indeed there is, f f. It is called Classical Connections.Originally posted by french frank View Post
On Sundays at 3 we are 'eased into the afternoon with a mix of popular classical music, news, reviews and interviews.'
That's what I call classical BBC-ese.
I'm not available at that time on a Sunday.Comment

Thank Linn. It was an email from them, citing a positive review of their forthcoming release, which alerted me to the existence of the programme.Originally posted by pastoralguy View PostMany thanks, Bryn. I'll keep an eye and ear open this Sunday.

I visited Linn's showroom in Glasgow a few years ago and heard their flagship audio equipment which, all told, cost about £100k! Perversely, I took a cd that had cost 50p in the local Ca Research shop of Pinky Zukerman playing Mozart's 5th Violin Concerto. It sounded absolutely AMAZING!Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment
