Collectors' Corner with Henry Fogel
Sundays at 8:00 pm

Host Henry Fogel
After the huge success of The Callas Legacy and The Art of Wilhelm Fürtwangler, Henry Fogel returned eight years ago with Collectors' Corner.
Mr. Fogel had the following thoughts: "The series will present a wide range of recordings that I feel are true classics of the industry. Recordings to be included will feature either unusual repertoire that I feel deserves a wider public, or performances unique in their interpretive profile, sense of commitment, and intensity. Many of these recordings will be long out-of-print, or hard to locate in the United States."
