Sound Advice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sound Advice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Sound Advice is a radio show on CBC Radio. It airs Saturdays from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time on CBC Radio Two and Sundays from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on CBC Radio One. The host is Rick Phillips.

The show reviews recordings of classical music and, except in special themed shows, a rating of up to five stars is given. The program advises listeners on building up a library of classical music.

The show also aims to impart discriminating distinctions so that listeners will become skilled in forming their own opinions. To further this instructive effort, different recordings of the same piece are often played in succession to illustrate different (and sometimes substandard) approaches in the performance."
