Technical Information
Classic FM uses dynamic range compression of the volume of music on FM (this is distinct from the data compression used for formats such as MP3). On DAB compression can be set by the user, so is less of a problem. The other station which transmits a lot of classical music, BBC Radio 3, does not use compression during the evening.

“But while ignorance can make you insensitive, familiarity can also numb. Entering the second half-century of an information age, our cumulative knowledge has changed the level of what appalls, what stuns, what shocks.”
