ABOUT

Since its launch in 1998, Notturno has been one of our most popular broadcasts. Currently, this night time classical music programme is aired in 13 countries with more than a million listeners tuning in every night.

Notturno is made up of three 2-hour recorded modules, some focussing on a special theme. The music comes from EBU radio organizations, whether or not they are participating Notturno members, and spans an attractive repertory encompassing the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods, and well beyond.

The programme is produced by the BBC Notturno team and relayed via the Euroradio Live over IP Network and mixed with local, pre-recorded announcements. No commercial CDs are used, and the rights for the offers are cleared in advance.
