Title: Sterndale Bennett on BBC
Post by: John H White on Sunday 10 April 2016, 16:04
I see that the BBC has at last woken up to Sir William Sterndale Bennett's existence and is devoting the Composer of the Week slot at 12 noon and 6.30 pm to his music this coming week on Radio 3, Wednesday being his 200th birthday.
    Cheers,
          John.

Yes, good news. It's a shame that foreign listeners can't use iPlayer to catch up after the broadcast.

Luckily that does not apply to radio broadcasts - those can be listened to from outwith the UK.

I'm in Australia, and I'm listening at this very moment to the BBC Radio3 podcast of "Composer of the Week" - WSB Part 1 - The English Hummel.
