Craft Recordings on Classical Radio
"We are actually playing this disc... ...the St.Ann Fugue, to be exact I really like the Schoenberg transcriptions as a general rule. We're playing a couple of others as well."
Rik Malone/KDFC, San Francisco
"Craft has always been great with Stravinsky. We'll be programming this."
Fred Child/Music Director, WNYC Radio, New York City
"Robert Craft has done it again with Stravinsky. We're using this often. I think the Pulcinella and the Piano Concerto are teriffic."
Jim Connett/Program Director, KFUO Radio, St. Louis
"We're starting a new "modern music" program in September."
Randy Harriman/KMFA, Austin
"I have been playing that outstanding Koch Music of Schoenberg Vol. 3 to great listener response. As I've been saying on the air, I think that it is, so far, the best recording of 1999."
Patrick Neas/KXTR, Kansas City, MO
"Schoenberg Vol. III is very welcome to our Sunday shows, "Classical Music of the 20th Century" (8-11am), "Delusions and Furies" (11am-1pm), and "Other Dimensions" (1-4pm). Our classical and avant-music programming is taking off!"
Pat Frisco/WHFR, Dearborn
"The Schoenberg disc is wonderful. What's not to love? I just hope Craft will release his earlier recordings of the early songs of Schoenberg. ( I have them on LP from Columbia...) They are wonderful. Set to German translations of Petrarca's sonnets, the songs were composed in the era just before Schoenberg began composing 12-tone music."
Jeanna Wearing/KCME, Colorado Springs
"Koch's Stravinsky Vol. III by Robert Craft is tremendous. I've scheduled the Danses (midday) and Pulcinella (evening), Bravo."
David Ginder/Music Director, WETA Washington DC
"A very nice recording. We will certainly use the Bach arrangements."
Dave Bunker, Music Director/Maine Public Radio
"I have played the Bach transcriptions on my morning show. The album is in our computer and I will recommend it to our evening announcers."
Randy Anderson/KPAC, San Antonio
"I took home Craft's Stravinsky III last night. Pulcinella - sounds good... ...Also, I played the clarinet solos for my wife (who is a professional clarinetist). She approved. We'll be using this disc."
John Simna, Music Director, WCLV Radio, Cleveland, OH
