...BBC Proms, and the British Library.
By pure coincidence, the end-of-week link round up has a lot of the letter B in it-all good stuff and worth checking out. And, as always, this week's blog posts are linked at the bottom of the page.

- A well-known author and his love of Beethoven.
- What happens when you look up Haydn, Handel, or Purcell in the British Library's archive of sound recordings?
