Day 58: Symphony Hall

My Best Guess: The best place on your radio dial to catch classical pieces from the world's most prolific composers, performed by top-notch symphonies from around the world.

According to Sirius: Simply the very best classical music performed by the world's finest orchestras, chamber music ensembles, and instrumental soloists. Bach, Beethoven, Brahms...world-class performances of the world's greatest classical music.

Curt's Rebuttal: Sure, they said "world-class" and I said "top-notch," but the sentiment was there. They do point out that it isn't just symphonic orchestras you'll here, though...that you might sometimes catch other ensembles or even soloists. I stand corrected.

Sample Playlist: Okay, a little different this time around...largely because I only got to hear one piece on the way to work (Anton Brucker's Symphony No. 6 in A Major, as performed by the New Philharmonia Orchestra) and a different song on the way home (Antonin Dvorak's Symphony No. 6 in D Major, Op. 60, as performed by the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra). Those pieces were damn long!

High Points: Wondering if every song on this channel was a "No. 6," and learning that the guy who made the "Dvorak keyboard" also composed music.

Verdict: Was close to bookmarking this, and I still may. I think I need to see what the other "classical" channels include before I commit...because I think I'll only commit to one.
