This is appropriate seeing as 2013 is Britten's centenary. See the Wikipedia entry on him.

{#Roflol} I thought this was a brilliantly smooth segue from Joni Mitchell - I couldn't hear the join. This is a moving piece, and deserves to be heard on better than tiny computer speakers.

I am not sure if Bill intended this as an elegy for the victims of the bombing and shooting in Oslo, but that's how I heard it. I was reading the eyewitness accounts of the massacre, with RP in the background, and when this song came on, it seemed to both mirror my emotions and soothe them. I wondered at the timing of Psychokiller, too.

Anyway, this is a beautiful instrumental piece.

not my fave but definitely enjoy the down tempo.  too bad some other people don't appreciate the hard work Bill does to make our music listening experience amazing.  thanks RP!

Then go and listen to another station that is designed for pathetic simple-minded losers like you. The rest of us delight in the eclecticism of RP that permits the playing of reflective music like this alongside everything else.

If you find nothing good here, and I find almost no positive posts from you, then why do you hang around?  Masochistic?  Too stupid to find another internet radio station?  Or just so miserable in your own life that you must stir up trouble?

Save yourself further frustration and go somewhere else.

Aw go stuff it!

Bill is a genius and if you don't support the program, that's your problem.

A little too far over the stretch edge for me, Bill.  Nice piece of music, but a little too much out of context.  Thanks, but no thanks. {#No}{#Stop}

Henryk Mikołaj Górecki died 2 days ago. RIP.

Bill, some evening this fall or winter, how about some part of Górecki's Symphony No.3?  Haunting and beautiful...

"Until 1992, Górecki was known only to connoisseurs, primarily as one of several composers responsible for the postwar Polish music renaissance. That year, Elektra-Nonesuch released a recording of the 15-year-old symphony that topped the classical charts in Britain and the United States. It has now sold more than a million copies, vastly exceeding the expected lifetime sales of a typical symphonic recording by a 20th-century composer."

It's not "rock radio."  It's "incredibly good, eclectic music radio."  You still have some maturation ahead of you.

Cannot agree more  - a weird friend of mine into modern classical introduced me to Mr. Part. I have never heard it anywhere else. Awesome - hope others like it too.

Ummm. Could you please translate this into normal English for people like me?

Anyway, this piece is a perfect 10 for me. It makes me feel like a speck in the universe and that is somehow very comforting.
