Yeah and it's been pulling plugs on its worldwide shortwave service since.

BBC World Service beamed to the Americas was how I was introduced to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and can tell you that its interval signal was Oranges and Lemons, and its sign-on music was Lilibulero. Not anymore and I've been PISSED at Auntie Beeb ever since.

Act I: 'Mir ist so wunderbar' (A wonder clear & pure) quartet from Beethoven's only Opera 'Fidelio,' aka 'Leonore, oder Der Triumph der ehelichen Liebe' (Leonore, or The Triumph of Marital Love), completed between 1803 & 1814.

The whole Opera is great & runs about 2.5 hours. As most people don't have the time, inclination or attention for a 2.5 hour opera, I have selected my favorite singing part that only lasts 4 minutes 45 seconds for your enjoyment. If you get the chance, listen to the full opera.

Ludwig van Beethoven | Piano Sonatas - Glenn Gould

Sensation yields to scandal: Gould’s feisty and headstrong treatment of the final triptych in Beethoven’s pianistic “New Testament” outraged the critics no less than his sleeve notes, in which he claimed of op. 111 that “the piece is weak in spots; it needs greater speed. Especially the first movement is such a bad piece that I wanted to get on to the finale.”

I've created this aggregate of the Glenn Gould recording selection of most of the Beethoven's piano sonatas for my personal use and I'm more than happy to share it with people that appreciate Glenn Gould's estatic interpretation of these ingenious pieces as much as I do. I've gathered 77 movements into one video just so I don't have to download all of them one by one on my phone for everyday listening.

Ludwig van Beethoven - String Quartet No. 16, Op. 135

— Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven (17 December 1770 -- 26 March 1827)
— Performers: Alban Berg Quartett
— Year of recording: 1981

String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Op. 135, written in 1826.

00:00​ - I. Allegretto
06:22​ - II. Vivace [Scherzo]
09:50​ - III. Lento assai e cantante tranquillo
17:39​ - IV. Grave ma non troppo tratto - Allegro ("Der schwer gefasste Entschluss")

Beethoven wrote the bulk of this, his final quartet, in a two-month burst of activity amid health problems and shortly after his nephew Karl attempted to commit suicide. But there's not a hint of self-pity or anguish in this compact, good-natured work. For Beethoven's valedictory composition, this quartet is surprisingly small-scaled, finding inspiration in the quartets of Beethoven's one-time teacher Haydn.

Artur Schnabel
Studio recording, London, 13.I.1937

The Six Bagatelles of Op 126 formed Beethoven’s last work for piano. When he offered it to the publishers Schott & Co. in November 1824, together with the Consecration of the House Overture Op 124, he described the pieces as ‘6 Bagatelles or Trifles for solo piano, some of which are rather more developed and probably the best pieces of this kind I have written.’ This is, in fact, music that already belongs to the spiritual world of the late string quartets Beethoven began composing in its wake.
