Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
Sir William Walton (1902-1983)
This is a week steeped in 20th-century British music. Composer Benjamin Britten wrote that hearing William Walton's music was a 'great turning point in my musical life.' Bill features Walton’s love of different musical genres: film music from Henry V, the poem Façade set to music performed by the London Mozart Players narrated by Prunella Scales, the orchestral march Crown Imperial, and the cantata Belshazzar’s Feast.

Best of Studs Terkel
Mel Brooks (7/2/1968)
Tonight’s conversation, chosen to mark actor, writer, and filmmaker's 100th birthday, first aired on WFMT in 1968, shortly after the release of "The Producers." During this program, Studs discussed the satirical film with various, unusual, out-sized characters who all, curiously enough, sounded a lot like Mel Brooks who was born June 28, 1926.
