Fantastic - what a sound!

All I seem to get, anywhere along the progress bar are TV commercials

Any idea what I'm doing wrong please?

I think you have to wait until the ads play through before the programme loads.

OK

Thanks Mick.

I happened to see the programme yesterday. That kind of music gets very little airing in our country, more's the pity. In fact there is no radio station as far as I know that plays light classical such as Lehar, Strauss and even lighter music from, for example, Ivor Novello.

I'd say much the same about my own sphere of interest at the other end of the spectrum Bernard

Mind you, to be fair, I suppose those of us prepared to spend up to four hours listening to a single work are relatively few

What's that then, The Ring Cycle or have you been 'listening' to John Cage's works (can't call them music)?

There are some first class highlights that I enjoy but I haven't listened to a full rendition of any since I was a student, and then I fell asleep.
