Thread Name: What is this thing classical music?
Subject: RE: What is this thing classical music?
As I said on the other thread I started about classical music, Classical music - what makes you listen?

the Oz national ABC Classic-FM
http://www.abc.net.au/classic/ radio station plays just about everything mentioned in harryrages' first post here - and more - during their average broadcasting week. Jazz, world music, folk, included.

You can listen online or to archived broadcasts. The programme I have heard most of the wider range of music is the Classic Drive programme broadcast on weekday late afternoons.

Because I have a very broad range of interests in music, including rock, pop, alternative or independent rock (but sadly not rap or hip-hop) I am happy as a clam listening to the range of music served up by Classic-FM.

[Rap and hip-hop - excluding Michael Frante - makes me feel like an old fuddy-duddy. I find myself saying, "this isn't really music!"   I never thought I would say that about any music - except disco of course! I have to turn off the radio when I hear it.I have to turn off the radio when I hear it.]
