So what do we make of the BBC’s new trance channel?

So what do we make of the BBC’s new trance channel?

Yesterday morning, before daybreak, the BBC launched Radio 3 Unwind, a 24/7 stream of calming classical music. It aims ‘to enhance wellbeing and help listeners escape the pressures of daily life’.

The morning show, presented by psychologist Dr Sian Williams, offers ‘soothing and nourishing melodies from Clara Schumann, JS Bach and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’ and explores ‘how embracing the seasons can be beneficial for our health.’

The musical information is elementary, slightly patronising. Some Radio 3 diehards are spluttering over social media. Clearly they have not listened long enough to unwind.

Judge for yourselves here.
