Internet radio stations & other alternatives to Radio 3

[Count Boso]

As an alternative to Radio 3's current Saturday afternoon programming, this afternoon have been listening to Radio Klassik Stephansdom (Austria).

Grateful thanks. Currently they are broadcasting Emil Gilels, Beethoven's Hammerklavier sonata.

I sometimes use a mobile phone app, Undok, to control the various outputs of my digital receiver, including, of course, internet radio stations, Spotify etc. I have only just discovered that there is a Windows app that does the same thing for my laptop. Very usable with a pleasantly designed interface. Called Radio Remote.

I use Undok a lot ( I have the same Hama unit as you and a Roberts stream93i which is based on the same software) and your posted prompted me to download this. I remember now I have tried before but It cannot detect devices. Have you had this issue?

Sorry. Late reply! Both work generally fine but I find the Windows app to be more stable than Undok which sometimes dithers a bit.

Latest internet radio discovery is New Sounds which describes itself as: "New York Public Radio’s home for the musically curious." Intelligent, eclectic selection. Listening now before Radio Three clicks in with CotW.

Since I am from Ukraine, I really like Internet radio with Ukrainian hits. I advise everyone that Ukrainian is very melodic.

Because...............

does anyone get as fed up as I do by the apparently endless 3rd rate, tediously predictable, undemanding 'Music while you Work' Baroque, or 'don't disturb the horses' Haydn symphonies on R3 as I do? Both regular fillers on the prog.

No - I like both of those! It's when they play something which is neither classical or jazz that irks me somewhat

I don’t have problem with those BUT there are other off-switch triggers - minimalist monotonies, diddly fiddles (usually Scottish or Irish violin music, but also pipes), warbling and wobbly sopranos, off-key, not quite right harmonies and a few other things but then I suppose the delivery from R3 nowadays in trying to please all pleases none all of the time.

I used to get fed up with much more than that but not anymore
I don't listen to Radio 3 live at all, I prefer to cherry pick full works from through the night, lunchtime concerts and such and listen/download via Sounds
That's a super radio station you've highlighted there, I do listen to that quite often

It most certainly is.

Here, I enjoy France Musique, very much, and occasionlly dip into the Dutch classical music station.

Agreed. It's my go-to station in the mornings to avoid EC.
