Jack Campin	Classical music - what makes you listen? (303* d)	RE: Classical music - what makes you listen?	23 Jan 17
And someone mentioned Bach, St Matthew's Passion. I first heard this piece on a tinny tiny little transistor radio about the size of a cigarette packet. I first heard Messiaen's "Turangalila" around 1965 on the next size up from that, a 1960s portable tranny the size of Bible. My father had won it on a quiz show. The classical radio station (1YC Auckland) was 80 miles away, low powered and AM - reception was terrible. I'd found I could boost it by holding on the tip of the aerial. But a lot of Messiaen's sounds came through just fine.
