France Musique. For the past few weeks, I have been listening to the beautiful music that is archived and broadcast on this website. The music has a broad range of classical, new music, and even some interesting amalgamations of jazz and classical.Thus far in my listening, my favorite piece is the madrigal, Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) O primavera, gioventu dell’ anno, Sfogava con le stelle. It appears on the linked page on the main player at about 19:00 minutes, just after the clapping ends for the prior piece. The recording quality is so excellent, it sounds as if we are sitting there listening.
