Anyone here listen to it?

Just recently I've been putting it on in the car and really enjoying it but it's fair to say I don't know my Brahms from my Liszt.

On that note, last night country file played a bit during the programme and I'd love to find out what it was, how do I go about doing that?

Have always been a Classic FM listener, especially driving home, after a hard day in office

Spend 3-4 hours in the car per day, ClassicFM is on 90% of the time.
Even been to the ballett and to see ESO recently.....Andre Reiu in December.....so yes I listen

There's some cracking classical music. I love the stuff with a bit guts, rather than just a piano note, a long pause and another piano note or two. If you watch the film "A Clockwork Orange", you'll have quite a good introduction to some good stuff.

I love classical music and have about 16 hours on my I pod that I play during the day while writing letters etc.

Not much of an expert, but I heard Nigel Kennedy performing the violin solo on this at the Proms a couple of years ago, and it was absolutely spellbinding. One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

Have a listen to it (played by another violinist obviously, but it's still amazing). Give it time and listen to it all.

At the beginning of Trainspotting as well.

Holst - The Planets is one of my all time favourites.

I like Jupiter - 'I vow to thee my country' In my opinion it should be our National Anthem

all good but from 2:55 is uplifting!

Yes, yes it was.

Thank you very much.

Working night's is a good listen to Classic Fm, especially when they do truckers requests in the early hours of the morning.
It's for everybody

Thank you very much.

I'd love to say there was some sort of database with this information on, but in reality, I searched Twitter for "Music on Countryfile last night" and some helpful lady had already praised the inclusion of this particular piece, so I dug it up off YouTube :thumbsup:

'Dear Chris

I was most interested and slightly concerned to note that your cover at Left back.............'

Etc

I listen to quite a lot but am not an expert......just find it very relaxing.

Ah - another Vaughan Williams fan! :thumbsup:

Same here. Beautiful piece, and far more fitting than GSTQ or Jerusalem.

Another radio station ruined by being commercial and thus too many irritating adverts. A great listen when they play the more spritely, uptempo stuff though.

It would never have even crossed my mind to do that, or even know where to start.

I am sadly a clockwork man living in a digital age.

Thank you.

Radio 3... hard core.

None of that populist Classic FM endlessly looping Vivaldi all day...
