Collectors' Corner with Henry Fogel
Hosted by Henry Fogel, Collectors' Corner is a weekly two-hour series.
After the huge success of The Callas Legacy and The Art of Wilhelm Furtwängler, Henry Fogel returned 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."
The series includes a broad range of orchestral, vocal, chamber and solo-instrumental music.
On Collectors' Corner this quarter, highlights will include the final program of the pristine Furtwängler Transfers, Riccardo Stracciari - A great Italian baritone; 3 programs of Shostakovich playing Shostakovich, 2 programs of the music of Gabriel Pierné, and a rare recording of a rare Russian opera.
Stations are allowed two (2) broadcasts of this series within the broadcast window, as specified in the listings.
