I’m sorry to report, if you live outside the range of our analogue signal, that the WPRB webstream at wprb.com is down this morning. I’m told that we’re working to get it up again as soon as possible. If you live as far south as Philadelphia, or even further (I’ve received the signal all the way down into Delaware), or west, into the Lehigh Valley, for instance, try to get us on your radio. We’ve actually got pretty good analogue coverage at WPRB 103.3 FM. In the meantime, we apologize for the inconvenience. Hopefully we’ll be back soon!

Last year, the manuscript for Johann Sebastian Bach’s Prelude, Fugue and Allegro in E-flat Major, BWV 998, sold at auction for over $3 million. For $3 million, WWFM – The Classical Network could cancel its fundraising for over two years. With a much more modest contribution, you could do your part to enable live and recorded performances of music by Bach and other classical favorites to continue to be made available at the touch of button. Enrich your life and your community by supporting The Classical Network today at 1-888-232-1212 or wwfm.org. As always, we thank you for your generosity.
Anika Hutschreuther plays the Fugue, exquisitely:

I hope you’re enjoying the show this morning. At 9:00, we’ll have a special visitor. Benedikt von Schroder will drop by to fill us in on upcoming events at The Princeton Festival, which runs through June 25. Then it’s back to spinning records until 11:00, as we continue with Vinyl Week, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com.

Get ready for today’s birthdays! Coming up between 4 and 6 pm EDT, we’ll have music by the great Dane Carl Nielsen. We’ll also hear from Otto Nicolai and Ingolf Dahl. Then stick around at 6 for “Picture Perfect,” music for the movies. More about that in just a bit. Kick back in your favorite chair and get your weekend started with WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
