The whole suite is wonderful. I learned it from the BBC-tv test card many decades back. Hordes of my generation have a lot to thank the test card for. In the days before Classic-fm etc. it was a repository of high quality music of classical and light music we could hear often enough (hours daily!) to learn its intricacies amd foster a foundation for lifelong appreciation and catholic musical tastes.
