According to the NY Times, lots more people say they listen to classical music than actually listen to classical music. Turns out most of them are listening to soft rock.
I am certain that the folks at CBC Radio 2 feel vindicated in their programming change, although these trends haven't helped their ratings.
And we in the classical blogosphere now wait with baited breath for Greg Sandow's comments about how this relates to THE FUTURE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC, and how it MUST CHANGE.
Pre-posting update! Turns out Mr. Sandow blogged about this yesterday.
Go figure.

A Long Time
I'm slowly trying to listen to all kinds of symphonies, as per my last post, and in doing so, have finally found a piece I have been trying to recall for nearly 20 years - Alan Hovhaness' Symphony no. 2.
This little project is already paying off!
