OT: Modern classical music?
PSpirine - 18/11/10 at 08:09 PM

Anyone know any good classical music internet radio stations that are decent quality and play a mix of proper classical stuff (think Beethoven) as well as a mix of "modern" classical (i.e. orchestras playing the theme to "The Gladiator" or a recent musical) to make it a bit more interesting.

I'm not in any way a connoisseur, just want something decent to put on in the background at home - proper music is reserved for the car

Well ClassicFm is plays pretty easy classics without anything too esoteric or avante garde..... Available via the web and Freesat(Sky). Not on Freeview alas. They play a fair bit of more modern stuff (think Ludovico Einaudi, movie sound tracks, Carl Jenkins etc etc)....
