A little history

The Baroque era runs roughly from 1600 to 1750 — from Monteverdi's first operas to the death of Johann Sebastian Bach — and gave us Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Handel's Messiah and Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. Its steady pulse and clear lines make it a favourite for work and study, and the early-music movement's period instruments are why modern recordings often sound lighter and brighter than older ones. Classical radio, piano radio and opera radio go further.

A route in

1. 1.FM Otto's Baroque Music, to begin.
2. Klassik Radio — Pure Bach, for Bach alone.
3. Concertzender Oude Muziek, for early music.

For the rest of the repertoire, classical radio online is next.
