Classical Music Radio stations ONLINE

[Pulcinella]

Why 'laughable'....I'm listening to Bruckner 4 Paavo Jarvi/BRSO.....and I'm not laughing!......if I wanted a laugh I'd turn to FNIMN!

BR Klassik is now my preferred morning listening between 9am and 11 (when the 'chunks' take over!), complete works by interesting composers, and in excellent sound, as the Bruckner is.

Oops.....think it might be your eyes playing up, Roger.

My Internet radio seems to have lost access to YLE Classinen in the last few weeks. It is a Steljes device that uses the Frontier Silicon portal, as does the Cello, I think. Can anyone confirm that it is still available on this portal, and just requires a retune?
Also about YLE, I have never found its URL, for use on a PC. Nor a webpage that lists what music is playing. Any suggestions?

Just tried its preset on my tuner. Can confirm above. It doesn't load. Other favourite preset stations are OK. Looked for it under Stations/Finland/Classical and it was not listed. A pity, it was one of my regulars.

Here is the webpage for YLE.

https://areena.yle.fi/podcastit/ohjelmat/57-llL6Y4blL

This page should show 'playing now', to get the whole show listing tap on the clarinet (it changes to piano later) in the square on the left, and scroll down to find 'show more' arrow and tapping it brings up the program details.

I don't use the portal you mention, but my streamer uses VTuner which has it, as does VRadio app. which I use fed from an android tablet to the USB A input to the DAC in my streamer, with excellent results.....and BTW, a useful function of the YLE page using the VRadio app. is that tapping the three little dot waterfall brings up, amongst the usual stuff a 'go to the webpage' option, in other words a 'shortcut' to the abovepage.

PS you may need to use google translate on the webpage!

Exactly the same here and I have a John Lewis 'Cello' unit. YLE stopped loading sometime last week. The website is working fine.

The same happened with another favourite station, Bru Zane. It disappeared from my internet-linked tuner/streamer but is still available via their website, which I do not find to be such a convenient way of listening.

Agree. I also tried searching the station list for Finland and YLE not listed anywhere. When I have a bit of time to spare I might try to see if I can re-load or update the stations but maybe YLE have shifted to a different portal which is not supported by our devices.

Do you have BBC stations on your Streamer? I don't, and have been forced to use Sounds app. via a tablet - as you say, inconvenient.....I know there were ructions in the HiFi trade when aggregators were forced to discontinue streams - selling a streamer in the UK became difficult if it couldn't 'get' BBC stations!......and those products using TuneIn couldn't receive most foreign stations either!

BTW YLE is still available by the above methods.

Yes. BBC stations are there. The two I mentioned (YLE, BruZane) are the only ones I have noticed that I recently can't get. The BBC ones come in at 320 kbps which is higher than many others, eg 250 kbps from MDR Klassik which we tune to fairly often (my wife is a Mitteldeutsche from Leipzig).

I do not fully grasp the technology involved here. Our streamer doesn't seem to use a specific app like Vtuner, but has a built-in system for tuning to internet stations including a useful interface for searching and saving as presets. It does all and more than I could ever want it to, with inputs for DAB, FM, AUX, USB memory stick, Spotify, Local Music (phone), all remotely controllable via phone app - in fact exactly the same interface as on the Roberts 930i on my bedside table.

You're lucky with the BBC at 320k....and MDR Klassik, which I said somewhere I listen to in rotation with WDR, NPO, RBB and, my favourite, BR Klassik. All the aforementioned come in at 256k or better....but MDR has disappeared from VTuner for some reason.

It's a bit of a lottery isn't it. I only understand the tech up to a point, but, in an age of generally easier and higher quality comms, it seems heads need to be knocked together!

We have been listening quite regularly to YLE Klassinen for a year or so, getting it via an internet connexion to our hi-fi. Until a few days ago (for example Joyce diDonato singing Winterreise last week) we had no problems, but for the last few days there have been glitches with the sound dropping out and then sometimes coming back again after a few seconds. Other channels have been fine. Has anyone else experienced this? We noticed that the Web page states that the station is broadcast to EU countries so maybe it is not now supposed to reach our English living room?

... yes, sporadically in the last few weeks. I had assumed it was some error in the wi-fi communication between our Community Fibre hub and the little John Lewis radio in the kitchen ; the radio is set to yle 90% of the time so I don't know whether other channels have been affected

Sadly not available on my old Roberts radio.

That referred to yle klassinen, which I can now get on my new Pure radio.
But could some kind soul point me to where on there site I can find their schedule.
My Finnish being non-existent, I would like to know what was being broadcast when I turned on a few moments ago (before the Mozart PC21).

Andrea Gabrieli - Psalmi Davidici Qui Poenitentiales Nuncupantur, Paul Van Nevel, Huelgas-Ensemble.
Possibly this CD?




BTW, does this link work? Click on the grey/white "Play" buttons under "YLE Klassinen" to expand... (Courtesy of vinteuil, I think).
