RTÉ Radio Player 4+

I am a disabled American veteran, so there are times when my wife of 45 years and I need a slower start. We find that serenity in Rte. Cathy and I live in Williamsburg, Virginia. She is only a second generation Irish-American. My relatives came in the late 1850’s. With all the listening choices we have here, it is still Rte we turn to if we want peace, serenity, or inspiration. We love the Hamilton Scoures, Movies and Musicals, Lyric through the night, and The full score. We love the fact that the selections of the classical music are truly classical and often played by your orchestra! So many of the modern pieces are full of dissonance and hard to listen to. Even when a modern piece is chosen by the host, it is melodic. Again I say, serenity, peace, and inspiration in one package.

I have been listening to RTÉ for several years, appreciating the variety of music available (mostly on Lyric) and the announcers who select and introduce it and comment upon it. I have been introduced to music I would never have otherwise heard but which have become favorites. The recent redesign is quite good, easy to navigate, especially among the various RTÉ channels, and within each one. The information about the currently-playing music is most welcome (especially ‘through the night’, but all of them). Really quite well done and welcome. Thanks for a reliable listening expereience. Greetings to all.

I third generation Irish and live in America. I listen to RTe on my phone every day. It is truly like carrying a piece of Ireland in your pocket. I love the music and can stay up to date on news as well. Thank you for adding the listen back feature which allows me to listen to past shows. I love the Purple Vespertine and Classic Drive and Marty as well.
