Seriously - no other Program comes close to presenting what A440 does. It is an alternative nourishing for the brain & tonic for the well-being.

Gotta love the microtonal piano. The Corigliano you played in the past is a favorite.

Joining in the chorus of wishes for an enjoyable summer and the good that you'll return soon.

@bunyan: Only recently heard the story of how Robert Hughes of the Times was shocked to find out his dishwasher was being installed by Phillip Glass, who patiently explained that he was both an artist and a plumber and that Hughes should go away and let him finish the job.

Thanks for the great classical programming and detailed playlist. There are many classical streams, but they have little variety. Looking forward to next season.
