Whatever the BBC sound quality when broadcast live in the UK, having listened to most of the Proms 4.0 broadcasts over the past two years, I am not convinced that the sound over the internet is to be sneezed at. It sounds excellent here in central Europe.

This is the link to one of the programmes this weekend: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06g63fh , though whether they will be available outside the UK is not clear. Perhaps Rupert Brun can tell us.

I should say that I have only a notional interest in this, as binaural has never worked for me.
