Beethoven on the BBC

Between 5-9 June, BBC Radio 3 is broadcasting every work composed by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Norman Lebrecht overview here.
BBC Radio 3 Beethoven webpage has lots of info as well as access to subsidiary webpages, where there is already loads to listen to. Plus, info about downloading all the symphonies. For free!
I came late to Beethoven, through his own 'late' string quartets and the violin concertos. Never really cared for the symphonies, but may be it is time to re-assess. Thank you, BBC!
