Internet radio stations & other alternatives to Radio 3

[Nick Armstrong]

The link below gives access to a fantastic blog site - A Japanese music lover who daily posts links to orchestral concerts accessible for varying periods of time online - includes Radio 3 and also a vast number of concerts from around the world. http://orchestraondemand.blogspot.co.uk/

Membership of the yahoo discussion group https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/concertarchive/info has to be applied for but is free and gives access to an astonishing number of concerts given around the world.

... literally life-changing...

One example I must cite: http://www.citedelamusiquelive.tv/Co...an-claude.html

Huge thanks to both for the initial steer (which I missed) and the reminder - as you say, unbelievable riches there!

As well as the concert you mention specifically, Syd, I was hooked by this one: Les Siècles & F-X Roth in Lully, Berg and Richard Strauss... with Barbara Bonney! http://www.citedelamusiquelive.tv/Co...-baptiste.html

Remarkable place, t'internet

Internet radio stations.

A recent newspaper article led me to this internet station, playing uninterrupted "Renaissance and Mediaeval Musicke"

Has been good having it on occasionally in the corner of the kitchen while plucking the linnets, braising the viands and stirring the pottage...

Recently junked the old FM tuner from my hifi in favour of the 320kbps R3-iTunes-Airport Express solution! Much better!

..and appropriately named "Radio 3 High" ..

Did y'all just hear that accordion duo doing Stravinsky? Blimey!

Well it was "Young Igor.." who got me going today!

Think on't..

I access them through iTunes on my computer, but might be tempted to get an internet radio if I redevelop a need to listen to radio.

I thought that was why you are here, and also running this site! We know (I think) that you don't do TV. l

We live in hopes! The appalling fact is that people have become so programmed [sic] that most can't conceive of life without TV and/or radio. I am here and running this site as part of a campaign to get Radio 3 returned to a serious, professional, grown-up, intellectual station based on arts and music, presented to high standards. A station which prides itself on being different from other broadcast media, not trying to emulate its more populist relatives. But if that is asking too much, I might stop campaigning and stop running this site.

I've just upgraded my bedroom radio to the new Roberts 93i (review here). I am extremely impressed. A very neat package with good DAB and network streaming. A new thing for me was its ability to link, using an individual code the radio gives you, to a website where you have set "My Favourite" internet stations.

Although I've drifted away fro R3 over the years, I've found that a recently acquired habit of 'listening again' has brought me to some marvellous programmes on R3 & 4 lately. For example, episodes on 'Discovering Music' on R3 and the 'Analysis' series on R4.

I didn't know you
could stream on demand programmes on internet radios.

But if I did, I would be bloody annoyed at the BBc changing this without consulting us.

typical !!

( how does one access on demand on an internet radio?)

Edit: Rads, I assume this is not relevant to PC access?
