Was Mahler's birthday yesterday, I was reminded and forgot. Will play more than a little music of his to celebrate!
Over the Bavarian (from Germany) station Bayern 4 (www.br-online.de/bayern4 - over RealPlayer or WMP , their RealPlayer stream is
here and their WMP stream is
here) - music by Hans Leo Hassler, Monteverdi and less-known Baroque and Renaissance composers at 4pm (Eastern Daylight time- the schedule,
here, for today, is of course in Bayern-local, so at 2200) .
Between 6 and 8pm (all times are Eastern Daylight Time USA, my local :) ) - the beginning of their night program, a 2-hour program ending with Nielsen's wind quintet and Sibelius' great 7th symphony.
France-trained Romanian composer George Enescu's (1881-1955) E♭ 1st symphony (1905) ends the 8-10pm bracket (starting probably around 9:30 or so.)
BBC Radio 3 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/schedule/2007/07/08/day )
Composer of the Week this past week (programs still can be heard over "Listen again" - tune Realplayer to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/shows/rpms/radio3/cotw_mon.rpm
for Monday's program, and see
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/schedule/2007/07/02/day
for the schedule of July 2nd (including the Monday composer of the week program)
or see
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/cotw/pip/archive/
for a list of all Composer of the Week programs, and look at Monday's (or Tuesday's, etc.) program that way- today, all of Monday's through Friday's programs are available since they were played less than a week ago.
This is true of many of the other programs on BBC Radio 3. Wander the site a bit, and Radio 4 and other stations if you like their programming too...
