Geistliche Musik is a Sunday morning (6-8 am, German time) sacred music block on hr2, the "kultur" network of Hessian Radio, headquartered in Frankfurt. Complete with news and weather, it will typically begin with a fine recording of church bells from a different church in the region each Sunday, followed by a nice mix of choral and organ recordings. Practice your German comprehension! hr got back on my personal radar while attending a fine concert of the hr-Sinfonieorchester in June 2007. Continuing the tradition of Germany leading the way in audio technology, they actually make some of their live broadcasts available in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound (via satellite dish and the proper decoder box).
