Thanks Roger.Originally posted by Roger Webb View Post
There's also "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" on BR Fernsehen, but it probably needs a VPN / German location to view it...

Thanks for that AuntD, I've tried getting BR TV stuff before with no success...a shame as they have some interesting arts programming, including the Bayreuth perfs every year - don't forget it was BR who recorded the Boulez/Chereau Centenary Ring, which the BBC took, in, I think 1980......those were the days!Originally posted by AuntDaisy View PostThanks Roger.

Just rewound the Walküre, as I've been at a concert this afternoon.....the marvelous London Handel Players....a culture shock sitting down to an evening of Wagner...amazing live sound from Festspielhaus though, and good but variable cast.Comment

The Bayreuth Ring continues tonight with Siegfried.....
Excellently sung (and conducted by Simone Young), so far...Comment

I enjoyed last night's ARD Radiofestival 2025 - Tage Alter Musik in Herne.
Available for a week on BR Klassik.
ARD Radiofestival 2025. Konzert / Oper
Tage Alter Musik in Herne
Begegnungen, Glamour, Entdeckungen: Auf Festivals wird Musik anders erlebt als sonst, dem Alltag enthoben, entspannt und konzentriert zugleich. Dabei sein ist alles. Das Festspiel-Hopping bleibt allerdings ein sehr exklusives Vergnügen. Vom 27. Juni bis zum 19. September 2025 präsentiert BR-KLASSIK jedoch mit der Festspielzeit und dem ARD Radiofestival herausragende Konzerte und Opernaufführungen für alle, die nicht überall vor Ort sein können – ab 18.05 und 20.03 Uhr im Radio, viele Liveübertragungen und ausgewählte Videostreams sind dabei.
Das B’Rock Orchestra widmet sich Johann Sebastian Bach. Der interessierte sich sehr für die Musik seiner Kollegen, die er bisweilen auch bearbeitet hat - etwa Vivaldis berühmtes "Stabat Mater". Bach unterlegte der Musik eine deutsche Nachdichtung von Psalm 51: "Tilge, Höchster, meine Sünden" - wodurch die katholische Marienklage zur protestantischen Psalmkantate konvertiert. Georg Friedrich Händels "Armida abbandonata" ließ Bach - für ein Konzert im Zimmermann’schen Kaffeehaus in Leipzig - so gut wie unberührt. Bach als Bearbeiter ist auch mit dem Cembalist Mahan Esfahani zu erleben.

Yes, I listened to that too, and did you notice they have a repeat tonight of our excellent Le Consort Prom. but earlier at 1700. UK time.Originally posted by AuntDaisy View Post
Also tonight is this from NPO Klassiek....a station I listen to more these days, despite the adverts at the begining - but not during - the concert.
Note that there's a follow-on concert after the Freiburgers with the arr. of Mozart's Requiem for four voices and string quartet...never heard this before.Comment

Just finishing last night's Ö1 "Alte Musik - neu interpretiert" Vox Luminis in Salzburg (with lively L' Arpeggiata fillers). Excellent concert, I really enjoyed it.
Alte Musik - neu interpretiert
Vox Luminis in Salzburg
ORF 06/08/2025 19:30
Ensemble Vox Luminis, Leitung: Lionel Meunier.Werke von Giacomo Carissimi und Marc-Antoine Charpentier (aufgenommen am 20. Juli in der Kollegienkirche Salzburg im Rahmen der "Salzburger Festspiele 2025")
Im Jahr 2004 startete das Ensemble Vox Luminis unter der Leitung von Lionel Meunier seine offizielle Aufführungsgeschichte mit Giacomo Carissimis Oratorium "Jephte". Im Rahmen der "Ouverture spirituelle" zu den heurigen Salzburger Festspielen brachte das belgische Vokalensemble dieses packende Werk aus der Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts in der Salzburger Kollegienkirche zur Aufführung. Außerdem stand auch "Le Reniement de Saint Pierre" des Carissimi-Schülers Marc-Antoine Charpentier auf dem Programm.
Available for ~5 days.Comment

Thanks for the link above....I do check on the Ö1 app occasionally, but there doesn't seem to be that much on (curious, for the main classical station of Vienna!!), so I tend to stick to BR Klassik, RBB 3 (excellent Berlin station), WDR3 (the aforementioned three often have the same evening concert, as you probably know....although BR alone did the entire Bayreuth festival), and NPO Klassiek - this last Dutch station has excellent engineering, but sometimes chaotic listing; often start times wrong etc.....and I don't much care for their new app.!....but their live concert sound is terrific.Originally posted by AuntDaisy View Post Thanks Roger.

I'm probably rather late to the party here, but do members know of this amazing site called Radio Garden? You can spin all over the world and find access to hundreds of stations, not just classical. My computer geek engineer showed it to me this week and I have been fascinated by the ease of use and the vast array of stations!

Just had a quick look:Originally posted by MickyD View PostStation UnavailableUsers in the United Kingdom are restricted from tuning in to stations outside of the UK for an indefinite period due to copyright and neighboring rights related matters that require clarification.

But try VRadio.....I used it this morning for YLE and BR Klassik....works a treat - with the penalty of the occasional advert (silent) between station changes, never during programmes.Originally posted by Cockney Sparrow View PostComment

A quick search indicates its a restriction imposed by Radio Garden itself.
I agree, individual foreign stations (sterling work has been done in this thread in this respect) will still be accessible, according to their own decisions.
A while ago Mrs CS was asked by a caller at the door if she was a regular radio listener (IIRC also whether that included music). She agreed to complete a survey of a week's listening - recorded in 15 minute segments. Not one for form filling, she handed over the task to me. COW, Live concerts, Wigmore Hall, Early Music Show, even Rec.Review featured in my listening, but mornings and afternoons, other times, featured YLE, Radio France Classic and the German classical channels. (Also the US WQXR).Comment

As CS says, we can't use it in the UK Micky....but a question: does it give you BBC stations, incl. Radio 3?Originally posted by MickyD View PostComment

That's a real shame for everyone, it is such fun to use. Found some very lively South American and Greek stations with traditonal music. Just checked and the only BBC station available is World Service. So obviously the Beeb are clamping down again.Originally posted by Roger Webb View Post
