Hi Gary,
The on-demand audio from Nadia's hourly JacobTV on the Radio focuses (Wednesday through Sunday from 12-1) will be available in perpetuity on this page, as will the complete introductions by JacobTV himself on the associated page. Thanks for your continued support and enthusiasm!
jacob-tv on Q2 radio = paradise
ground was well-prepared for paradiso w/ this week's focus on passions.
having already heard a number of these pieces, they have taken on new meaning in the context of the composer's spoken introductions.
however, couldn't access wqxr.org all last night, 'tho the audio stream continued. ( i wonder : might the on-demand feeds stay up for a couple weeks after this j-tv fest ... ¿ please ? ... )
( will this bliss never end )
You know what's so funny, I am from the Netherlands, as Jacob Ter veldhuis, moved here a few years ago, and almost 30 years ago he was my music teacher!
He was very funny and renewing in his lessons by then, but never thought he would get that famous...
I much appreciate this week's spotlight, espeically instances when I'll actually be able to tune in. Thank you.
