To ring in 2026, listeners with two and four legs requested music about humpback whales, poinciana (Delonix regia) and ascending larks. We also had requests for New Year's, Christmas and Epiphany.
Listeners were specific about performances this week, requesting recordings featuring Van Cliburn, Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the BBC Symphony during the Last Night of the Proms.
