I am listening to very little Radio 2 lately anyway. I heard about half an hour of Evans on Friday night and then a great programme about classical music in Vienna. |

I knew about the music in Vienna programme but as I've a fair collection of it's music from Haydn through to the Strausses to Mahler, I gave it a miss, but I'll give the BBCiplayer a run on it later.

gfloyd, I listened on iPlayer.
Impressed! Haydn-Mozart-Beethoven-Strausses-Mahler 
I've even posted about it on the R2 Music Club board.
It wasn't the ClassicFM-type-vague-history-show or Titchmarsh-type-waffle-show there was a LOT of detail squeezed into half an hour, EXPERTS were featured giving much information unknown to me, not much music of course but an excellent programme worthy of Radio 3, but I'm so glad Radio 2 still has a bit of class

It was a great little gem. Made by 10 Alps, Bob Geldof's company IIRC. It certainly made me want to visit Vienna. There are 2 more cities to come, but I'm mad that I missed the first of the series, the week before last.
