It's a pity, on 4th weekend in Febr 25/26, DW English sce will be ceased,
and carry then the very last edition of DX program by presenter Wolfram
Hess DL1RXA and DK0DX, a well known ham operator too and presenter of
RBI_GDR days ... (wb, wwdxc BC-DX Jan 21)
From dxld:
Listening via the Mailbag file, they also announce, "This DW World DX
Meeting is supposed to be the second to last, only one more, in February".
But at the closing referring to next month, "hope it's not the last time",
but concluded with "Partirn" by Bocelli, I think, "Time to Say Goodbye"
duet with a soprano, mixing Italian and English. Is there no German
version of this??
(...)
I have heard them use this song to end programs before although I don't
recall which DW program it was. The Sarah Brightman - Andrea Bocelli duet
"Time to Say Goodbye" was a huge hit in Germany in 1996 then it did well
in the UK as well, pretty much set Brightman on her current career course
(that and being married at one time to Andrew Lloyd Webber). IIRC, it was
a closing theme song for a World Cup/silly ballgame or something. I find
it to be a particularly beautiful duet.

Many of you - especially those of you who remember the former GDR-station
Radio Berlin International (RBI), will connect one name with RBI:
The name of Wolfram Hess, DL1RXA (ex Y31NO).
He was well known within and beyond the borders of the former German
Democratic Republic for the only totally
unpolitical program on RBI - the DX-program! Some of you may even know
