Classical Hour with Gary Alexander
2-3 pm
This Week: Today marks the first of two programs honoring the 269th birthday of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as portrayed in two snapshots of his short but glorious career. This Sunday marks his 20th year, 1775, or 200 years ago this year, when he wrote five glorious violin concertos at age 19, and then he wrote no more works in that genre, turning to the piano for his most profound works for solo instrument. Today, we’ll play one movement from his violin concerto #1 and then play the complete violin concerto #4 played by Hilary Hahn with Sir Andrew Davis at the BBC Proms in 2000, and then the complete #5 played by Itzhak Perlman with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1982.

This Week: What Is Fascism?
Bernadette gave this passionate speech in Dublin in 2017, upon the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Guernica in 1937 in the Basque region of Spain. She speaks of fascism as de-humanization, Muslims as the new scapegoats, the political origins and philosophies of republicanism vs nationalism, and populist fascist Donald Trump.
Joy Spring with Gary Alexander
3:00-6:00 pm
This Week: Today, we delve deep into the “G” box of vinyl records your host collected in his youth, discovering long-hidden gems by the Benny Goodman big band and small groups, including his near-complete Carnegie Hall Concert recorded near this date, on January 16, 1938, a concert which welcomed many special guests and featured the birthday drummer Gene Krupa (born January 15, 1909) who was soon to depart the band shortly after this concert. Most of the Goodman recordings today were not discovered or released until decades later. At the midway point of today’s program, we began sampling the work of the dozen leading reed and brass players from the upcoming 25th annual Jazz Cruise, including five sax and clarinet players, and seven trumpet and trombone masters, sampling the sounds of the upcoming sailing on January 28th.
