Playing EVERY thing he did,run up to Xmas.The whole caboodle,everything.
From the BBC site: Bach page here: radio 3 Alongside the broadcasts available via Radio Player during the Beethoven week (JS gets 10 days) a number of performances were made available for download for a limited time; apparently had these downloads been transfered to the pop charts we would have had Ludwig at No.1!
It is good to know that, even in these dark Bushian days, civilisation has not perished from the face of the earth.
Hmm I can only get Radio 3 via satelite but if I record to my HDD PVR I can then burn the lot to disk. Christmas comes early.
Possibly true - one should listen to inferior music once in a while, in order to recharge one's appreciation of The Master.
Tongue firmly in cheek of course. Handel, Monteverdi, Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Tallis, Byrd, Blow, Purcell, Charpentier, Rameau, Vivaldi, the Gabrielis... And I did say music, which rules out You-Know-Who...
The only problem, as far as I can see, is that the BBC is trying to cram too much into too short a space of time and may 'overload' listeners with Bach. For regular listeners of Bach it is an absolute banquet but for newcomers may not give them the time to start to appreciate his works. Others may be put off by switching on the radio and finding jolly old Bach yet again - oh no! Just some of my random thoughts. It will be an interesting experience whatever and I am buying some additional mini discs for recording the FM broadcasts (the internet broadcasts are poor in my experience)
Apparently,when they did the same for Beethoven,they had 1.3m downloads,so it was a huge success,hence why they are going it for the bloke from Liepzig.Hopefully they will do a Lep Zep month just for some balance.
If they need a month for Bach, don't you think one day is plenty for Led Zep? (who BTW ranks way up in my personal rock Pantheon)
