  • Out Sick But KWAX Shows Still Airing

    Out Sick But KWAX Shows Still Airing

    For anyone expecting a response from me today, I am sorry to have to report that I am sick. Horrible chills and light-headedness and an afternoon spent shuddering under the covers, in robe and many layers of pajamas, but no sleep. Not looking for your pity; it’s just that I know I promised a bunch of you I would get back to you today, as soon as I finished recording tomorrow morning’s show (“Sweetness and Light”) for KWAX. Miraculously, I was able to get it in. I wonder if Esa-Pekka Salonen cast the runes and put the whammy on me for my scathing review of his Sibelius that I posted earlier this week? In any case, I am not ignoring you! I’ve just been too active and not getting enough sleep, and now I’m paying for it. I’ll respond as soon as I am feeling up to it. My weekend shows will air as scheduled, at the times below. Thank you for your patience, and have a great weekend!


    Remember, KWAX is on the West Coast, so there’s a three-hour difference for those of you listening in the East. Here are the respective air-times for all three of my recorded shows (with East Coast conversions in parentheses):

    PICTURE PERFECT, the movie music show – Friday on KWAX at 5:00 PM PACIFIC TIME (8:00 PM EASTERN)

    SWEETNESS AND LIGHT, the light music program – ALL NEW! – Saturday on KWAX at 8:00 AM PACIFIC TIME (11:00 AM EASTERN)

    THE LOST CHORD, unusual and neglected rep – Saturday on KWAX at 4:00 PM PACIFIC TIME (7:00 PM EASTERN)

    Stream all three, at the times indicated, by following the link!

    Jorma Panula at 90 Legendary Conductor

    Pedagogical legend Jorma Panula is 90-years-old today. For decades a sought-after mentor to aspiring Finnish conductors, Panula has flooded the world with his estimable apprentices, which include, among their number, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Mikko Franck, Sakari Oramo, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, and Osmo Vänskä.

    Panula himself served as chief conductor of the Turku Philharmonic, the Helsinki Philharmonic, and the Aarhus Symphony Orchestras. Today he continues to teach, albeit with a mask. Here are selections from an interview he gave in 2018.
