Vicentino on the radio

Hi tuning people: if anyone's interested, BBC radio 3 aired quite a good programme on Vicentino this morning. They played some of my retuned recordings of the pieces from his treatise, and they also played live recordings of a group of singers that the BBC put together especially for the programme, who did very well with the 1/5th-tone shifts after just two days' practice.

I don't know if this link works everywhere in the world, but here in Canada it says the programme will be available online for the next 7 days:

Hi Jon,

yes, that's the thing I was listening to today ... I've managed to record almost all of it, only a few starting minutes are missing.

Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the programme! I like these BBC radio programmes, they've discussed tuning before. I remember downloading a show from Charles Lucy's website which was all about tunings in general. Good stuff..
