[F_MINOR] Glenn Gould on WKCR Bach Festival



WKCR, Columbia University's radio station, is broadcasting a full day of the
music of JS Bach as performed by Glenn Gould. You can listen to WKCR online
via their website at www.wkcr.org. The broadcast is part of the annual Bach
Fest which ends midnight on December 31.

Unfortunately, they are doing fundraising efforts as part of the Bach Fest.
However, since this is their first fundraiser in 5 years (they don't usually
solicit donations on-air) we have to forgive them. WKCR lost its transmitter
on Sept. 11 from the top of the World Trade Center (as did most radio
stations in NYC) but being a small university station, they have still not
located a permanent transmitter to replace it. The goal of the fundraiser is
to raise money for a new one and to pay off some debts incurred during
multiple relocations.

The Festival is well worth the time to listen to many wonderful historic
recordings of JS Bach, in addition to today's focus on Glenn Gould.

Happy Holidays to everyone on F Minor!
