This book is the first comprehensive account of classical music on
all British radio stations, BBC and commercial, between 1945 and
1995. It narrates the shifting development of those services, from
before the launch of the Third Programme until after the start of
Classic FM, examining the output from both qualitative and
quantitative perspectives, as well as recounting some of the
stories and anecdotes which enliven the tale. During these fifty
years, British classical music radio featured spells of broad,
multi-channel classical music radio, with aspirational and
mainstream culture enjoying positive interactions, followed by
periods of more restricted and exclusive output, in a paradigm of
the place of high culture in UK society as a whole. The history was
characterised by the recurring tensions between elite and popular
provision, and the interplay of demands for highbrow and middlebrow
output, and also sheds new light on the continuing relevance of
class in Britain. It is an important and unique resource for those
studying British history in the second half of the twentieth
century, as well as being a compelling and diverting account for
enthusiasts for classical music radio.
