I just can't get enough of this. I just have Radio 3 on all day. It's wonderful. Brilliant Beeb! I hear some people don't get Wolfie. Poor things!

Interesting that the quality on Radio 3 replay is superb - hardly compressed at all and activity up to 22Khz!!

If you think Mozart is bland, or there's nothing to get, you're not listening. Our house has been joyously filled with sublime music for over a week. I even got me name read out on the request show tonight! :-)

I've been listening at every opportunity too and thoroughly enjoying it. What a wonderfully inspiring way to start the year.

Too much for me. I've hardly listened to the radio since they started.

My second post was a response to one that isn't here any more!

I can't really listen to the operatic stuff as "background," but as for the rest, I find it astonishing that he could squeeze so much top-notch music out of such a brief life. There's a bit o' dross as well, of course, mostly his very early music, but it's still instructive to hear it (and most of it hardly ever gets played anyway) to see just how fast he developed, and well after the world got fed up of his "child prodigy" status. I've had the Gran Partita wind serenade in my desert island eight for donkeys' years, but I'm now thinking of what I can oust in order to put in the Sinfonia Concertante...and one or two piano concertos...damn...

There are interesting live sets on In Tune at 5pm Mon-Fri.

Agreed. It was wonderfully moving to hear those three young people playing the Kegelstatt Trio live on In Tune this evening.

By accident I caught a bit of Mozzy last week.
I'd given up scrolling thro late night TV progs and clicked on radio 3 in desperation hoping to catch late junction.
I was initially disapointed to find it all Mozart but amazed when I recognised the tune that was being played, note for note it was that folky session fave Portsmouth.Anyone know who knicked what from whom, and which bit of Moz was it
