Refuge for seekers of a little less conversation

sir – For those who are fed up with Radio 3 and Classic FM (Letters, September 7), can I suggest the Irish station RTE Lyric FM?

This is a great classical music and arts station with an eclectic range of programming. James Logan

sir – I think the banalities on Classic FM add to the gaiety of the nation. My personal favourite is: “And now for a piece from the world-famous Beethoven.” Isobel Barker Torpoint, Cornwall

sir – Readers interested in listening to classical music with no adverts or dialogue should seek out Radio Swiss Classic on the internet.

Their website, which is available in English, lists the music schedule and offers interesting sections on planned concerts and related pieces. Stephen Thackray
