BBC Sounds has been available to anyone on the planet and now it's being confined to the UK. Why on earth is the UK retreating from the world? It's becoming a smaller country.

The astounding story of how that most fascinating of scripts, Linear B, was painstakingly decoded in the mid-20th century, revealing at last the life of the Mycenaeans in technicolour: antigonejournal.com/2024/01/deciph…

The first of the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra’s BBC Proms this season, and what a way to begin — with a world premiere by Tom Coult (commissioned by the BBC and gloriously sung by Allan Clayton) and a blazing Mahler 7, all under the baton of the brilliant John StorgĆ„rds.

A very beautiful concert last night Ryedale Festival from Donald Grant and a great band in the rather lovely acoustic of St Peter’s Church Norton. His new work ā€˜The Night Overtook Us’ was made for this venue at this time. Discoveries like this make festivals special.

Sam Jackson Adam Sherwin I really believe that any journo who's thinking of writing yet another 'Whither the Proms' feature should be forced to read Nicholas Kenyon's excellent history of the festival before they do. They may find it rather enlightening, particularly the Glock era...

We are sorry to hear of the death of dear Amelia Freedman CBE. Amelia founded national treasure the Nash Ensemble in 1964, directing it the rest of her life, amid much else she did for music. She received RPS Honorary Membership last year recognising her luminous achievements.

RIP Amelia. 'I’ve always stuck to my guns and I think it’s very important that you do that...You go with what you believe in.'

A near-40-year relationship with BBC NOW comes to a triumphant close BBC Proms, as Conductor Laureate Tadaaki Otaka is on the podium with this brilliant orchestra for the final time. A very special evening.
