Ok, that's my #classicfm #halloffame 2025 choices sorted.
#mahler #symphony 2 ( #resurection ) as usual, which went up 13 to number 59 last year and probably wasn't played for the next 11 months,
#handel #messiah , as usual, which went down 4 to 44, and was probably played at least once a week, and
#faure #violin #sonata number 1 in A major, which has been a favourite for decades, but I never picked it because I assumed it would just be me.
Well I filled out my #Vote for the #ClassicFMHallOfFame show. But since my three picks are #BasilPoledouris #ConanTheBarbarian score, #AkiraIfukube's original #Godzilla theme, and #AndrewPowell and the #Ladyhawke theme, none of which are even scraping the bottom 300 of the current one, I don't fancy my chances.
Someone come back me up, pls.

Escuchando "Classic FM", pasaron una versión de "Volver" de Gardel por la trompetista francesa Lucienne Renaudin Vary junto a orquesta.
Please can someone tell Scottish Power that #butterflies have been known to fly over the #Himalyas ? Very annoying advert on #ClassicFM currently. #annoyingadverts @ScottishGreens @savebutterflies
Ancient mystery solved!
Back in the mid 90s, Paul Gambaccini hosted the Classic FM chart show. Had a lovely piece of stirring music behind the final countdown, just before he confirmed Gorecki III was still number one.
It's the "Homage march", written as incidental music from Edvard Grieg's "Sigurd Jorsalfar".
Next question: why does Henry Kelly aspirate the H in Beethoven?
Fireworks have started early here. 
It’s worth mentioning for UK pet owners Classic FM’s Pet Classics will be on Saturday November 2nd starting at 5 pm with Charlotte Hawkins and on Tuesday 5th November at 5 pm with Dan Walker.

My dog doesn’t like fireworks (and we have to suffer weeks of them going off here) but playing pet classics helps to keep him more relaxed.
Does anyone else in the UK remember when #ClassicFM was basically funded by back to back adverts for the book #NaomisRoom?
It has been at least 2 years in this journey to fall into a routine that suits me and my life style as well as benefit those around me. Looking back, it is disheartening and i can not judge anyone that falls into simple habits that might make you feel overwhelmed and worthless, but there is just so much thrown into your face that it becomes hard to avoid it.
Latests steps: No electronic devices up to 30 minutes after waking up. Just some radio in the morning #classicFM rocks! #digitaldetox
#Beethoven's 9th first performed on May 7, 1824 conducted by Beethoven himself. Arguably the greatest work of art ever produced. Featured at #BBC #Proms 21 Aug 2024 & #ClassicFM on Monday 6 May 2024. The ‘Ode to Joy’ calls human beings together, eschew nationalism & work towards a fraternal world. https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ej6fbp?lang=en
I love #classicFM. It stops me from killing people.
Don't know if it's audio compression, or just a different recording.
In the Apollo 13 Soundtrack, there's a repeated theme with flowing strings and a distinct plucked bass note. Now, I have a CD recording of the track "All Systems Go / The Launch" on a #ClassicFM at the Movies album. On that recording, the bass note is almost subliminally deep. It's audible, but almost as a feeling than a sound.
Alternatively, the version of this track on YouTube (and currently playing on StreamingSoundtracks) has a much more audible, "twangy" bass note. It's more like a bass guitar than an organ.
As I say, I can't tell if the difference is that the YouTube algorithm has compressed the sound, or if it is actually a real difference due to a different recording, but my point (I'd get there eventually) is that I prefer the CD version. The "newer" version makes the bass note too noticeable for my taste.
Current Music: James Horner - Apollo 13 - All Systems Go / The Launch
Current Mood: Picky
And this is my absolute favourite waltz tune
I'm going to have at my funeral

Music to counter #NYE2023 fireworks

@35millimetre @catnip Our Daisy cat goes to hide when there’s even a hint of fireworks. Her late brother Casper was even more terrified. But I must confess that the #classicfm broadcast for pets does something to help. We’ve had it on in every room in the house the last two nights, and she’s been at least a bit calmer. #cats #fireworks
#Pets #Fireworks
#ClassicFM are again playing soothing music for #Dogs between 5 and 9pm to help them stay calm.
Been running for the last 6yrs and hosted by pet-parent Charlotte Hawkins.
I grew up in a house in West Lothian where my parents loved Kathleen Ferrier and, even as a youngster, I could tell this was a woman with an extraordinary voice, somebody who could bring tears to a glass eye, whether singing folk songs or classical music. Kathleen died 70 years ago this weekend on October 8 1953, aged just 41, but we have the records to remember her by. #KathleenFerrier #Blackburn #EdinburghFestival #RobertBurns #OrfeoandEurydice #ClassicFM
If you insist upon playing this cheap #LondonSymphonyOrchestra Russian song cover version stuff before #Christmas, you'll upset many people here: @HollieK72 @hugh et al..
Don't say that you weren't warned when an angry mob of #ClassicFM revolutionaries comes to take you on "a short ride into the woods".
I hereby cancel your #ClassicFM membership.
Have some #Romania to counter your LSO cover versions of Russian songs.
#joannagosling #bbc #classicfm I’m so glad to hear this! I miss seeing Joanna on the BBC.

Turned on the radio and Debussy’s Suite Bergamasque began playing on #ClassicFM. I like to think it’s God’s way of apologising for my awesome #StarWars #Barbie #Oppenheimer joke not going viral.
