But the show is titled "Choral Fixation". The point of the program is to present different types of choral music. I happen to like the fact that we choral directors get a 2 hour slot to ourselves once a week. Presenting symphonic, chamber or opera arias would defeat the whole point.
I really dislike the oratorios & other choral music on this show. Could we substiture anything else such as operatic arias, symphonies, chamber music?
You are currently playing the Brahms Four Songs, Opus 17 by a women's chorus from London. Isn't it too bad that you fail to herald the performance by the women of Music Sacra in NYC? They did a stunning performance recorded and published by RCA. The brilliant soloists included David Jolley as one of the two horn players and the well known NYC Ballet harpist Cynthia Otis. The conductor was Richard Westenberg, known for his years with this famous NYC chorus. You want support for your station? I suggest you support the local musicians who have great reputations worthy of recognition. I'll have to think twice about supporting the "new" QXR. --Ray Pool
