Could you please play Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in the mornings around 8:00?
Thank you!
I can play it this Saturday at 8 am, if you’d like. Please let me know and I’ll schedule it.
Thank you
Alan
I looked at the new schedule. Is Alan’s Friday afternoon slot still “request time”?
I guess I am slow to accept change. I understand Daniel’s explanation for the economic need to go to syndicated programming, but I just can’t get enthused about the new hosts’ personalities, formats, and musical choices. The short pieces and single movements from concerti and symphonies remind me of SIRUS classical stations on my DISH Network TV. Mindy Ratner’s comments before most pieces are somewhat helpful. The late night guy is as dry as dust.
Just my opinion.
Gil Mann
The late night guy is as dry as dust! What?! I think Bob Christiansen is the best host – I could listen to him read the phone book.
I thought there was a way to purchase CDs, or better yet download music files (mp3, flac, ogg, etc.) in such a way that LPM gets a “piece of the action.” Essentially I want to minimise what the music industry lawyers, thugs and executives get paid and maximize what artists, performers and organizations that actually produce some economic good get paid. Can you suggest some, preferably online, retailers consistent with these goals.
Tim, C90.5 changed to a national database for our playlist. We’re not able to add the purchase function yet. It may be added later, but I have no timetable for it. Thank you for your concern!
Please email me the site to locate that has the news/press release that reports the changes to 90.5 personnel and addition of the Classical24 group….Somehow, I missed “the memo” that “explains” the new staffing., Thnx! B. Tjaden
I’ve been recording to magnetic media since the forties, and have spent most time as an RE in studio, dealing mostly in broadcast material preparation. We always used a touch of compression, but as light as possible, necessary when we were putting half an hour on a single LP side. But, listening to your audio stream, there seems to be some sort of compression that’s truly excessive; music becomes very difficult to hear. WFMT, WQXR, KWMU and others don’t have this, so it would seem characteristic of your signal. Has anyone else commented?
Earl, I appreciate your input. I share your concern over the broadcast quality. I’ll ask the engineer to change the compression settings so we get back some of the audio highs and lows that we’re used to. Thank you!
Is anyone else having problems with the live stream? It worked before the new site was up and now it doesn’t and I can’t find a place for help. I’d like for it to open in Media Player, but it just opens a small window in explorer and does nothing.
Also, replying to Gilbert Mann, I don’t like how they play only 1 mvt of large works either. Play all mvts or nothing at all. They wouldn’t play start and stop in the middle of a shorter, 1 mvt piece would they? No. Only playing 1 mvt makes me turn off the radio and go to my mp3 downloads and listen to the whole thing start to finish!
I am having trouble with the home page. It keeps flipping up or down as the carousel changes pictures. Thanks.
David, The problem should be fixed now. I was adding too much text to the slideshow, which caused the page to “hiccup” (not a technical term). Thank you for the notice.
Could you please tell me the name of the person that sang Going Home this morning (1-28-11) around 9:45. I couldn’t understand the name.
Thanks

The soloists and conductors aren’t showing up on our version of the Classical 24 playlists yet. I don’t know why. You can access their personal playlist here:

Thank you!
Alan:
That link led me to what I had been wishing for, a play list that tells IN ADVANCE what will be played so wouldn’t miss something I really wanted to hear. Thanks.
GM
Last week your station played Antonio Valente’s Neopolitan Galliard. Anyone know where to find a copy of this wonderful piece?

I can’t find the request website anymore. I’d liked to hear the Piano Concerto No. 2 by Chopin today,(February 4).
Please email all requests to studio@wuol.org or on the WUOL page on Facebook. I can schedule your request for any day next week. Let me know when you’ll be listening. Thank you!
My sister is playing a memorial concert at U of L Monday.
In honor of our father Neslon Keyes.
Could you please play Music for Monday Evenings by Nelson Keyes.
It would be a Louisville Orchestra recording.
Thank you.
You never replied to my e-mail but why can’t you bring back Peter Vandergraff? The overnight guy Bob Christonson is okay ut really doesn tknow his classical music for he has made several mistakes identifying pieces such as a hayden stoirng quartet a few weeks ago..
Alan, what has happened to the listing of noontime luncheon classics?
Carl
It’s under the “programs” header under the banner on the top of the page. Here’s the direct link:

Thank you, Alan,

Last week (2-20/26)possibly on Thursday you played a work by an Armenian composer. It was beautiful, and I’m wondering what it was and if you could play it again soon.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to pay your attention to my new CD consisting of violin pieces by Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart & Schubert. The recordings are available on my website – http://www.pawelzuzanski.com/index.php/classical-violin.
If you are interested in broadcasting any track of them, please let me know so that I can send you a CD or email you mp3-files.
I would appreciate if you could broadcast any of the tracks.
For your feedback thank you in advance.
Sincerely yours,
Pawel Zuzanski
I missed this Sunday’s Louisville Orchestra Concert at 6pm. Will it be rebroadcast and when would that be?
Thanks,
Our contract with the LO allows for only one broadcast. I’m sorry.
What is the name of the piano piece played at the beginning of the 3 am hour before station id?
Is your streaming audio system down? I lost the signal Tuesday afternoon and have not been able to get it on several conmputers.
It appears to be down. I’ll have our folks look into it. Thank you!
Alan,
An alum of the School of Music, George Marriner Maull, BM 1970 and MM 1972 (viola and conducting), contacted me to say as artistic director and conductor of The Discovery Orchestra in New Jersey, he would be very interested in being interviewed by telephone on WUOL about his KET2 upcoming the broadcast of The Discovery Orchestra’s “Discover Beethoven’s 5th” to be aired on March 27, 29 and 31st. I thought that you or someone there might be interested in what he is doing for classical music education which is important in light of the current battle to cut the federal budget for allocations to public radio and arts and music education.
Discover Beethoven’s 5th, a one-hour interactive music experience taped before a live audience in Victoria Theater at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark is designed to bring audience members more pleasure from classical music listening. Focusing on Movement I of Beethoven’s famous Symphony No. 5, the program is performed by the members of The Discovery Orchestra® and is hosted by artistic director and conductor George Marriner Maull.
The program, distributed by American Public Television, has already been selected for broadcast by nearly 100 public television affiliates nationwide with 30 broadcasts scheduled on stations coast-to-coast in March alone. Discover Beethoven’s 5th follows the orchestra’s educational television show, the Emmy-nominated Discovery Concert®: Bach to the Future©.
I have a DVD of the production George sent to me and a press release if anyone at the station would be interested. Thanks for your help by passing this along to whomever at WUOL might be interested in interviewing George.
Tedi Vaughan, Director of Development, School of Music.
You have ruined this station. What happened to the live hosts? They were imperfect and frequently mispronounced musical terms, but they were better than the canned programming we have now, which, by the way, is the same used by the classical music station in Cincinnati. The hosts make silly, facetious comments, making everything a joke, and play popular music, film scores, bad arrangements of good music, etc. I’m glad Daniel Gilliam is gone, I could not stand him, but I don’t like the new format at all. And From The Top? I truly hate that program and have complained about it for years, but you keep airing it. I don’t like classical music trivialized by a bunch of adolescents and the host of From The Top.
