CD of the week
Zumra World Village 450012 (Select)
This album's roots lie deep in the Balkan tradition of sevdah, the urban folk music of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which touches on sadness, but is mostly about making love by moonlight.

CD of the Week
Before the 8am news - Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
Before the 7am news - Tuesdays and ThursdaysSo there you are, trying to choose a CD in the record store, or somewhere online in a virtual vortex of indecision. What to get for your mum’s birthday? What to listen to whilst doing your commute? Every week Classic Breakfast has a special CD to help you make the decision, and keep your mum happy.
Swoon
To swoon (verb intransitive) - to enter a state of rhapsody or ecstasy.
Sonic Philes

Tears on Toast
Do you need help? Do you spend most of the time with an opera trying to work out whether she is in love with him, or with that girl over there dressed as a man, or with that bloke over there with a higher voice than all the women on stage?

Daily Specials:
Mondays - before the 7am news Carpe Diem
Do you need an extra inspirational, rigorous shove out of bed at the beginning of the week? A stirring piece of music, perhaps? Mondays have had such a bad rap since the Boomtown Rats sang their infamous song, but with Carpe Diem you’ll be saying "Boomtown what?"
Tuesdays - before the 8am news Flight of Fancy
Tuesdays are tricky: Mondays have the glow of the weekend, by Wednesday we are used to being back at work, Thursdays are nearly Fridays and Fridays are nearly the weekend. So yes, Tuesdays are tricky and you may need to hop on the earoplane and come on a Flight of Fancy. Even with in-flight service!
Wednesday- before the 7am newsLend Us Your Ears
Poetry. Prose. Recitation. Simply....words.
Thursdays - before the 8am newsLove it or Leave it?
Ivan Lloyd goes in search of music that has the power (and potential dodginess) to make you either rip your radio from the socket in revulsion, or take it to bed in an act of love. You decide. And tell us.
Friday - before the 7am newsDone and Dusted
Internet, digital, twitter, facebook, e-mail, mp3’s, endless electronic gadgetry, and all for what? Sometimes good old analogue is just what your ears would order, given half the chance. And here it is. The half chance, that is.
Podcast - Grace Notes
Grace Notes are enjoyable, capricious additions to music, and sometimes our lives in general. So in the Grace Notes lounge, you will be sitting in a comfy chair with musicians of all sort - professionals, amateurs, organisers, young, eternally young and the generally fascinating. Something to catch your ear with Emma Ayres, presenter of ABC Classic FM’s Breakfast show.
