Here's this week's listening recommendation (no YouTube video haha):
'The Choir' is a BBC-produced programme which focuses on choral music, a cappella or otherwise, in both the United Kingdoms and the rest of the world.
Hosted by Alec Jones, a renowned former boy-soprano, the programme allows listeners to be amongst the first to appreciate newly composed choral pieces.
World-renown groups, conductors and composers such as the King Singers, Polyphony, Paul Hilier, Morten Lauridsen and the Latvian Radio Choir have, at one point, been interviewed/features during the show.
In addition, 'The Choir' has a segment which showcases clips of music sent by amateur choirs in the UK. The programme will definitely broaden, and increase the depth your knowledge!
The BBC website allows u to listen to past programmes, provided it does not exceed 7 days. The link is as follows: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/classical/
Enjoy! :)
