Subaruguru- you're right 'crb does have some execution problems (most of their programming is from hard disk they tell me) but unfortunately the Friday afternoon broadcast time on WGBH does not permit me to listen to the BSO broadcasts. Victor Campos of Adcom used to host a show called "adventures in sound" that featured great performances on GBH as I recall. The Sat night concerts on WCRB are much better with good frequency response, depth and dynamics, as the Beethoven attested.
What live performances are broadcast in your area?
I live in rural (burgeonly-suburban) NH, USA about 75 miles from the Boston broadcast towers. I enjoy live (no tape) Boston Symphony broadcasts from Symphony Hall, such as the one I heard last night of the Previn Violin Concerto and Beethoven Symphony #7 on WCRB. We also have rock broadcasts from the River 92.5 live in studio (Shawn Colvin, the late Jeff Buckley, etc.) Obviously the immediacy and impact of these performances is unparalleled. Compiling a register of these for the Agon community is a "good thing." Question is:
1. What live broacasts do you have in your area? What stations? What kinds of music?
2. What equipment, including antenna and tuner, are you listening to them on?
