good stufff cert ... you are right about the stations only playing pop...i listen to classical stations daily as well as it is hard to find classical music that i dotn have and im broke anyway... i have never in my life heard a piece of serial or 12 TONE on the radio and certainly never anything aleatory....however they do give some of the iconoclasts their dues....i hear plenty of stravinsky, debussey, wagner, mahler, bartok, and berlioz although now some of that is beginning to be looked upon as pop as well

Well, I'm not a great fan of classical music, but my favourite is Carl Orff (maybe because I have only few classical music albums, the best of them is "Carmina Burana")

The trouble with most radio stations - especially during the day - is they only play "Pop" classics. They don't dare play the interesting stuff.

I think I'd replace "most" with "all except Radio 3" .

I love english composers a lot in particular the vocal music. Purcell,Elgar,Holst,Parry, Vaughan Williams, Britten and two 20th century composers who are not so well known Finzi  and Tippett. My alltime favourite "Pop song" is Jerusalem.
