Thank you for the invitation to BBC Radio 3. I am pleased to accept, although I may do little but lurk. I am listening to Radio 3 at the moment and sound pretty good on the rather limited speakers of the laptop I am using. Living in the Washington-Baltimore area I am fortunate to have access to WETA also online), a PBS station dedicated to classical music and on trips to Baltimore I can receive a good classical station from there. The West Virginia PBS station often has good classical programs. I suspect I will have Radio 3 on while browsing through Librarything.

I note we have some books in common; you have a large collection of children's books. which comprise a good part of my collection.

'Yes' my friend said. 'I don't see why there shouldn't be books in Heaven. But you will find that your library in Heaven contains only some of the books you had on earth.' 'Which?' I asked. 'The ones you gave away or lent.' 'I hope the lent ones won't still have the borrowers' dirty thumb marks,' said I. 'Oh yes they will' said he. 'But just as the wounds of the martyrs have turned into beauties, so will you find that the thumbmarks have turned into beautiful illuminated capitals or exquisite marginal woodcuts

I've never listened to BBC Radio 3, so I couldn't qualify as a 'listener.'
I 'do' listen to CBC Radio 2.
However, as they are supposedly further diminishing their classical content to a period of 10AM to 3PM in the near future, I may have to look for an alternative.
Is BBC Radio 3easily accessible?

Thanks as well for having created the R3 group. I listened to Sunday's Private Passions (Colin Low), a show I rarely catch, yesterday at work and it was just superb.

What a wonderful library, antimuzak. I've been browsing your Biographies looking for a Schubert bio. I see you have many of course. Would you be able to recommend one or two for the "layperson". I enjoy works which put the subject into the context of his or her times - what else was going on in their country during their lifetime, perhaps some minutiae of every-day, domestic life, etc. I am not a musicologist, just a lover of music. I hope asking this is not presuming too much.

Dear antimuzak
Thanks a lot for inviting me. I will join.

I am sorry to hear that the BBC 3 too is threathened. Our "Danmarks Radio" (http://www.dr.dk/) is suffering severe cuts at the moment too. They have to pay for the political decision to build a grand new Radio House by cutting down lots of interesting programs, the cuts being in sad keeping with the already prevailing tendency to cut programme that lasts more than 30 minutes, especially when it is a spoken word programme without music. There is today hardly a programme without annoying "jingles" (the muzak of serious radio).

I was interested and impressed to look at your library. I have added your library to my interesting libraries. I only started cataloguing our book collection about two months ago but I can see that we already share 49 of our (at present 1220) books with you!
Yours

Dear Antimuzak,
Thank you for your invitation to join the BBC3 Listeners group. To be honest: the last years I hardly listen to BBC3 anymore. This is because in Paris I cannot receive the channel on the waves - and I am very oldfashioned and donot listen to music on my computer (nor do I download movies). I must be one of those fossiles who still don't have ADSL...
But in the '70s and '80s I was unconditionally faithful to BBC3. I can even say BBC3 has been one of the great experiences of my life. Even now I remember (30 years afterwards!)some names of the BBC team: Patricia Hughes, Victor Hallam,....
So to conjure my regrets, and to express symbolically my admiration I have immediately registered upon your invitation.
By the way: I adore many forms of music (being also antimuzak!). But I have decided not to include music recordings (or scores) in my LT catalogue. It will be big enough with books alone.
Sincerely,
Jan Willem

I know you're very busy with Radio 3 so I wouldn't expect you to contribute often. However, I'll be posting things on 'Gregorian Group' that I'm sure (having read some of your postings) will interest you.

Hello again Antimuzak,
Thanks for your kind welcome. By all means post away. You can always do that unless I indicate otherwise. Still busy logging my library so little time for visiting group pages. Should be through before the end of next month. Have to spend the first half of Nov. in UK during which I will suffer terribly from librarything withdrawal symptoms. At least R3 will be on tap, wonderful music at Westminster Cathedral and will also see the new production of 'Shadowlands'in the West End.

Must tell you about France Musique which is the equivalent of R3 here. Sometimes it's stunningly better and sometimes stunningly worse but on the whole across any one week has the same depth and versatility. Also very good for the French musical vocab. Will report the next wonderful thing I hear and the worst. The French presenters sometimes have difficulty with the names of British and American musicians and one has to have one's ears peeled if one wants to know who's performing. Who is Sclon Da Vees for instance? That being said he's very popular here because of his devotion to Berlioz. And what about Le Narde Slat Keen and Sharle Mucker- Ass?

All best to you and the group for now. Will contact again soon,
Jane

Thank you for your invitation to join the Radio 3 group. Until June it was one of three things I miss about UK, one of the others being good strong Cheddar cheese. But a new epicerie has recently opened in our tiny village here in France Profonde and mirabile dictu, Monsieur Joachim gets huge blocks for me farm produced in England. All the local supermarket has (8 kms away) is spongy Double Gloucester masquerading as Cheddar. The French Buyer doesn't know the difference! The French generally think they are the only nation who can make cheese.I'm working on Monsieur for a supply of smoked back bacon and then when I've had my satellite dish fixed I'll be able to access R3 through my digibox and make more relevant postings to the group rather than going on about cheese!

An early and treasured memory of R3 when it was still The Third Programme is the series 'Talking About Music' with Anthony Hopkins. Billiant and so educative in an absorbing entertaining way. It would be wonderful to hear them again. They must still be in the Archives.(What happened to him? Does anyone know whether he's still alive?) Years ago my husband was in one of our local pubs in London when an extremely beautiful Brazilian girl came in asking if anyone knew where Anthony Hopkins lived. At the time the actor Anthony Hopkins was still living with his first wife in the street round the corner and my husband assumed she meant him. However, to his astonishment it transpired she was after the music AH, of whom nobody else in the pub had ever heard.
Thanks again, Jane

any advice you can give to help me listen in more often would be great!

Dear antimuzak, many thanks (only 4 months later!) for the invitation - I did join immediately. I get to listen to BBC R3 & R4 regularly over the Internet, though it requires perseverance after our national telecom company got renationalised. On irregular visits to the UK I am always impressed just how fortunate UK residents are to have the BBC (I'm thinking radio and Internet rather than TV as I don't watch it, though I know the BBC Natural History Unit is still something to be proud of) instead of the garbage we largely have to depend on in this part of the world. Indeed, sindicated BBC news has become one of the best ways for residents here to get unbiased news. Let's hope the UK government will some day wake up to the fact that a commitment to maintaining (and improving, why not?) the BBC would be a better investment than any of the alternatives. The BBC is clearly a very cost effective way of educating and informing and, as they say, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance." Thanks again! Chris

good man! "no" to intrusive movie-makers, "no" to lending and "no to listing books you don't actually own. You are all right in my book! (though I can't imagine putting the music on here - there must be a better way) At any rate, keep up the good work

Hello,

We have quite a few books & things in common.
I also do not list it unless I own it, & have learned all too well the lesson not to loan books.(Have you ever noticed that it is the people that say they would NEVER dream of keeping one, that do not return them?)
I lost a precious copy of Dickens that way.

postet av theselkie kl. 2:48 pm (EST) den Aug 16, 2007

Thanks for the invitation. I have never actually listened to BBC radio though. I do concur heartily on your stance toward book lending. I absolutely refuse to lend books even to my children. They never return. I have replaced some books six and seven times and I refuse to do it again. The prices are always higher the next time. I too own all the books I have listed but will never manage to amass as many as you.

Thank you for the invitation! I recently read Stephen Fry´s humorous take on the history of classical music - evidently taken from a series on BBC3 - so that´s how I knew about that radio channel! I´m in Sweden, by the way. I love classical music and I once had serious plans of becoming an opera-singer myself, so this is right up my alley!

I agree with what you wrote about it "being an oasis of intelligence and real culture in an increasingly dumbed down world" because it´s so sad to see what kind of "music" and performers are being popular these days.....Britney Spears, anyone?!

Thanks for the invite. I must confess I haven't listened to Radio 3 very much but having read the group info I am very keen to check it out. The only problem is I have a digital radio and don't know how to tune it. What can I say I am a technophobe!

You have a very interesting site, we have quite a few books in common especially considering I don't have many in my library yet.

Have you really written all those reviews yourself! (I'm trying to think of a witty comment that you must be a prolific writer or really old or really sad but it all sounds a bit insulting sorry).

I am with you about the lending friends books theory, there seems to be an unwritten law somewhere which makes people assume if you lend them a book they do not have to give it back. I am always very careful now not to lend out my favourite books as they are like old friends to me and I want to see them again.

Thanks for the invite to BBC Radio 3 Listeners. I share PatrickFeeble's uncertainty about how the group works and what's involved, but I'm open to finding out. From looking over the comments, it appears that you're single-handedly keeping the BBC in business, and from the size of your collection, it would seem you've keep the entire book publishing industry alive as well. Well done!

Thank you for inviting me to join the BBC Radio 3 group. I'm very busy entering all my books on the site right now, and as any true music lover, I can't listen to music and do something that requires concentration at the same time, so I'll try later.

Here is the link http://www.radiofrance.fr/francemusique/..., you can listen to it online

Thanks for the invite to join the Radio 3 group. I'm pleased to accept but I generally listen to Radio 4 as I'm less often in the mood for serious music listening. I currently sometimes catch some of "Night Waves" but I will promise to make a conscious effort to tune in to 3 more frequently. I share you abhorrence of muzak in public places. How anyone can actually shop in HMV or Virgin stores is beyond me. The cacophony makes rational thought, let alone contemplation, well nigh an impossibility. I'd be interested in your recommendations for contemporary classical music.

Antimuzak, (great name) Thanks for the invite, however,I'm able to access BBC3 only via the internet. I also tune in some excellent classical radio out of Toronto ;-)

Many thanks for the invite to the R3 listeners group - unfortunately I only listen to the radio in the car, and my car stereo is broken, so the sound of silence is all I get at the moment! I've not really listened to R3 before, but I'll keep an eye (ear) out for it when I eventually get my car fixed.

Best wishes and thanks for the thought.

Hi and thank you for the invite. I don't have any way to listen at home, though my voice teacher subscribes to several European Classical stations via his computer/stereo system and I may have listened there. He doesn't recommend my local classical station, sadly American, small city stations seem to have limited, "commercially viable" libraries of recordings, but sometimes I can tune into the Toronto Station across the lake which is excellent.

If there is a free online broadcast please send me the address, I can listen while I'm on LibraryThing. Thanks for thinking of me an introducing me to another great venue for music.

The problem for me with Radio 3 is that it does not play though Itunes, which means that I cannot listeen to it on my stereo.The same is truee with Danmarks Radio's classical station, which is also great.I am going to try Radio 3 while am on my computer, though.

Thank you for the information. I use Apple's Airport Express and an outboard digital-analog converter to put my internet radio through my stereo system. I have found Minnesota Public Radio's classical station to be much better than the average public radio's war horse parade.

Hi

Many thanks for the invitation to join the BBC Radio 3 Listeners group. I am an avid listener, having the station on most of the day and often in the evenings.

Thanks for asking. Have very little time for anything these days but I shall endeavor to lurk about in the background as time allows.
