CORRECTION - Re: New Thread: Classical Music Influences on Us



Title: RE: New Thread: Classical Music Influences on Us
I just found out this morning that the program has been switched to the fall schedule and is now being aired on WEDNESDAY mornings instead of Tuesdays.  For those in the NYC - NJ - Phila area it's 103.3 FM.

all in all, there is a lot of really amazing "classical" music out there that is put out on small(ish) labels  - - stuff that isn't in the top 40. it's amazing to me how many really great late-romantic/early-20th-cent composers kinda got left by the wayside - - and these people could REALLY write.

That's so true - there are so many great composers, both past and present, who undeservedly go unheard.  If anyone has the chance, I strongly recommend tuning in to the web broadcast from Princeton University's station WPRB ( http://www.wprb.com/ ) on Tuesdays from 6:00 to 11:00 AM EST for the program "Classical Discoveries" hosted by the extremely knowledgeable and informative Marvin Rosen ( http://ourworld.cs.com/clasdis ).  Marvin plays a wonderful selection of largely ignored classical music from all eras, from the earliest extant music manuscripts to music that was written within the past several months.  He's a tireless champion of unheard composers and his program is always worth hearing for the gems that he manages to find and share.
