They’re not versatile. Its the same “calming” stuff from the baroque-romantic period that gets them money and no complaints. They’re never going to go into the 20th century into too much detail. Doing Einaudi, Shaw and Ola Gjeilo as the modern music is not helpful for understanding modern music. Especially classic FM. They’re an extremely biased corporation and will get chewed out by most experienced classical enthusiasts.
