“Great listen, but having the recommendation in writing on the page or the website would make it easier to follow up. Possible?”

“I remember it started out as Record Review, then became CD Review to return to being Record Review. I find it essential listening, even if I don’t always agree with the conclusions. I’ve only docked a star because I’m still not sure about the two presenter format; I think I preferred the single...”Read full review »

“From Building a Library to, now, Record Review, this has always been a pleasurable and engrossing education. A wide span of recordings are covered, some quite historic. A real treasure for the ear.”

“I would love to listen to this podcast, but virtually all the episodes I’ve tried are “temporarily unavailable”. Will these ever be playable in the States? Thanks.”

So I love the show, I really enjoy this format: but cannot find the recommended recordings unless i sit with pen and paper to write them down as we go along towards the end. Or download more...”Read full review »

“I’d love to listen to the podcast, but every single episode displays a message saying that it’s temporarily unavailable. This doesn’t happen with other BBC podcasts. Hopefully you can fix it”

“This programme feels to me like sampling fine wines in the company of a friendly wine buff. There’s information about the piece and commentary on what you’re hearing that I found helps me listen better. Don’t stop!”

“It seems that the Franck Violin Sonata podcast is the only one that actually plays for me. All other pods give me an error message.”

“Without doubt one of the finest ways to learn about classical music and extend your library. Many times over the years BAL has introduced me to a piece of music that has become a firm favourite, or has rekindled my interest in and love for a piece I haven’t listened to for some time. I am yet to...”Read full review »

“This is helping me to really get under the skin of classical music, and thereby all music. I now have three versions of Mozart’s Requiem. Education is learning about life.”

“Well done to the BBC for finally podcasting one of the GREAT programmes about classical music. Building a Library satisfies everyone from novice to expert. It introduces unfamiliar repertoire, opens up unheard recordings and provides a lesson in pieces you thought you knew. Perhaps some past...”Read full review »
