Contemporary Classical Internet Radio è una stazione che trasmette via internet ed è impegnata a celebrare “la diversità della musica classica del 20° e 21° secolo”.
Grande. Finalmente una stazione che trasmette esclusivamente musica contemporanea. Oltretutto in MP3Pro, quindi la qualità è buona. In effetti adesso sta trasmettendo a bitrate 256.

La politica della radio è la diversità, come si evince da questa dichiarazione di intenti:

A Diversity of Styles
We play expressionism, neo-classicism, serialism, minimalism, neo-romanticism, post-modernism, and lots of music that doesn’t fit nicely into any ism at all. We play music that is tonal, atonal, polytonal, and many shades of grey; music that is full of mellifluous melodies, and music that throws up fundamental questions of aesthetics, only to shoot them down.

A Diversity of Genres
You’ll hear orchestral music; chamber music; music for solo piano, clarinet, and accordion; religous and secular vocal music; songs; electronic music; music for percussion ensembles; and even operatic scenes. We also occasionally play 20th/21st century arrangements of earlier music (which often tell us as much about the arranger as about the original composer).

Geographic Diversity
We play music from Russia, England, and Brazil; Iceland, Australia, and Japan; and everywhere in between. (Although special attention is given to American composers.)

A Diversity of Popularity
The 20th century has produced its share of well-established classics, and works that produced instant infamy. There are also works and composers that vanished almost (but not quite) without a trace. And there are composers that are just making names for themselves at the start of the new century. You will hear it all on Contemporary Classical Internet Radio
