Radio entertainment

Classical radio keeps me interested on my journey. Seemingly good stations include:

Bayern 4, MDR Figaro, Deutschlandfunk. Honourable mention to MDR Sachsen, whose reverb enhanced oom-pah-pah accordion music kept me laughing for a full ten minutes while hurtling along. Or maybe that was the energy drinks...

An odd degree of Anglophilia on the radio: one station going on about 'das britische Understatement', another with a festival entitled 'England, oh, England'. Sadly the Latvian National Choir's rendering of Purcell does not live up to the good intentions of the organisers.
