I was real bad and fell real bad down a classical music streaming radio rabbit hole late this long weekend. I think I've got it sorted now—but of course I got no A* drawing done today. >*< Gotta take a sick (in the head) day, d-oops.
 
Anyway I might as well share my ill-gotten gains, if such they may be; after finding out hey maybe streaming classical music radio stations might be a thing I'd like to listen to I ballooned up to 20 or so of 'em before eventually paring that down to just four pretty hardcore, pretty high-bandwidth stations:
 

http://lsn.lv/bbcradio.m3u8?station=bbc_radio_three&bitrate=320000
^ Unofficial proxy server serving up BBC Radio 3 in AAC at 320 kbps, a speed usually reserved only for the UK (outsiders normally being held to 128 kbps through something like TuneIn ). So uh that proxy could go offline whenever, I guess; the official stream you're still not really supposed to know might be http://as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_23461179/live/ww/bbc_radio_three/bbc_radio_three.isml/bbc_radio_three-audio%3d96000.norewind.m3u8 . I found the proxy information at https://gist.github.com/bpsib/67089b959e4fa898af69fea59ad74bc3 . Track information is not included in the stream (or in the TuneIn stream); you can look it up here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live/bbc_radio_three
 
https://dispatcher.rndfnk.com/br/brklassik/live/mp3/high
^ BR-Klassik, 256 kbps MP3 stream. Public broadcaster of Bavaria, Germany, based in Munich.
 
http://amp.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac
^ ČRo D-dur, classical public radio stream of the Czech Republic, based in Prague, in FLAC (max 1536 kbps). Track information is not included in the stream; you can look it up here: https://d-dur.rozhlas.cz/program#/2026-09-09
 
https://streams.gewandhausradio.de/live/mp3-256/hoererlink/
^ Non-profit 256 kbps MP3 stream created and maintained by the Gewandhaus concert hall and its orchestra, Leipzig, Germany.
