My local libray’s selection of Classical Music was terrible, so I am going to a better one next weekend. I am told the library in Pasadena has a killer music collection.

Another thought, particularly if you start to think about opera, but also for performances of large works such as Beethoven 9, Mahler 8 etc. - Amazon DVD rental.

I didn’t know you could rent DVD’s from amazon. I will look into it. I listened to a couple of the BBC programs you recomended though, they are great. I particularly liked the one on Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique. I am adding that to my shopping cart on amazon.
