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.

“Rejecting all organs of information ... but my senses, I rid myself of the Pyrrhonisms with which an indulgence in speculations hyperphysical and antiphysical so uselessly occupy and disquiet the mind.”
