This is a very odd podcast. Amid some real gems are lots of fluff. Not really classical, or off somewhere in left field. I am open to ‘new’ music, but many of the offerings are trite, weird, or boring. There’s no editorial judgment applied, apparently. Three hours of a trumpet making screeching noises. Really? For the claim of millions of listeners, it seems very sloppy. The program notes are absurdly florid, seemingly starting in mid paragraph. The names of performers or composers, if mentioned at all, are just last name. Track listings, if present, have format all over the place. There were several podcasts with glaring typos in the titles. Just sloppy. And then there are the ads for blankets…

Wonderful but maybe we could do without the ads for blankets!

Been listening for years. Reliably putting out stuff I have not heard before.

Read all the comments and the guys complaining about the ads are hilarious! How do you think they make their money to put on a show like this? If you want to fully fund their podcast, I'm sure they would gladly do away with the ads. But, GREAT music! LOVE this podcast!

And the Bach digitized Brandenburg concerti are by Wendy Carlos. Rather well known if you are into early midi realizations. Pretty sure that “Leicester” in Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda is pronounced “Lester” by the English.

A great collection classical music from all periods. Use the search function to find almost anything. No wonder why this is the #1 classical music show in the world.

Man, I just wanted one nice episode a week or whatever, not for you to dump about ten archived episodes a day into my feed

Full-length pieces and operas with a little talk. Nothing intrusive like YouTube, which places ads in the middle of a movement.

Together, and not fighting too much with one another

I’m just getting into a movement and it’s interrupted by a loud ad. Keep all the ads at the beginning or end!

Multiple times the emotional piece of One Eleven Heavy is interrupted by commercials. This is quite rude. The piece has the audio of the pilots in the fight of their lives, moments from death. Please do not do this.

thank you for sharing the music! greetings from mexico

Want it to be continued!

Too much talky talk. I'd prefer more music and less talk.

What a great series. An inspiration to volunteer musicians and community music organizations everywhere. Bravo!

OK, they aren't pros, but it is surprising what wonderful music can come out of a small community.
