One of my favourites: love that opening movement; concerto, as a whole, has such a lovely mix of exciting & dramatic mixed with the serene! One of the very first Classic FM cd’s I got, from their monthly magazine, when it started in the 90’s, Feb. 1993 not long after it started broadcasting in Sept. 1992. 😛:D😎🙂 From The Concerto Greats cd that is my favourite ever classical music album & the first to be imported into my iTunes library!😛😎:D
 
Here’s an interesting bit of info: Classic FM started broadcasting just before Eastenders did & actually the first to broadcast the theme tune; always loved the mix, from the start, of modern film & television music & the traditional, older, classical music! They said it’s the modern classical music as it’s scored for & played by an orchestra! 😛😎

That's interesting. I must try to listen to Classic FM more often. My introduction to the station, many years ago, was in the dentist's chair of all places, when receiving treatment. It was a very pleasant distraction.

I'm currently listening to…
