Finnish Radio Bliss Lost in Translation

I am in bliss with the Finns at Yle Klassinen (accessible via my internet radio). However, beyond the names of the composers and the performers, I can’t understand a word that the hosts are saying! Thankfully, they’ve got the playlists posted at their website. Of course, I still have to use the translate function, which results in occasional inadvertent hilarity, as with this translation of one of Vaughan Williams’ best-loved pieces, scheduled to stream later tonight:

Vaughan Williams: The Bread Rises to the Heights (Hilary Hahn, violin, and London SO/Colin Davis)

How much yeast is in Hahn’s RVW is debatable:

WWFM Stream Down Due to Power Outage

FOR THOSE OF YOU ACCUSTOMED TO ENJOYING WWFM – The Classical Network VIA OUR INTERNET STREAM AT WWFM.ORG:

It’s been brought to my attention by an online listener that he has been unable to connect to our stream. The reason for this is that the electricity is out at the college. We are broadcasting, thanks to a back-up generator, but unfortunately there is no internet. No lights or air conditioning, either. All in all, a sad state of affairs. We apologize for the inconvenience. Hopefully the power — and the streaming — will be back up soon. Thank you for your understanding!
