Lucy Corey

Thank you, Haley, for your distinctive choices in music. I love hearing lesser known compositions by well-known composers, as well as wonderful music by unknowns. I often turn on the radio in the middle of something great, and want to write down the composers and work, and even the orchestra!! Please, repeat this information after each piece of music. This may seem boring to you, but it has been very important to me, as I listen to interpretations closely. Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for your show!

Bill Collins

March 18, 202516:01:30

Wow! That piano piece by the Ethiopian composer. Great!

Mark Anthony

Hello, Haley. I am a long-time listener and financial supporter who relocated to the west coast of the state (St. Joseph) in June of last year. I wanted to tell you that you have brought a lovely third dimension to the on-air talent at WRCJ.

William Sturm

Uplifting story… I was sitting at a metro Detroit intersection with my car windows down this week listening to Bach’s Lunch. Next thing I know, the person in the next car over was calling over to me. They wanted to know what station I was listening to and that they liked classical music. I told them 90.9 FM and Bach’s Lunch and they switched their station and thanked me. Hopefully, we have a new long term listener!

WorkerB

July 26, 202414:07:51

Wow, thanks for spreading the word! Yes, hopefully a happy new member of the 90.9 WRCJ family.

Another great Bach piece today around 12:30 featuring the piano or maybe a Clavichord. Can you tell me what it was?

WorkerB

April 28, 202406:09:49

Hi William, that would either have been the first movement of the Brandenburg Concerto #2 performed by the English Chamber Orchestra with Ian Watson on harpsichord under the direction of Anthony Newman or
the Partita #1, BWV 825 performed by Charles Owen on piano.

William Sturm

April 22, 202416:35:23

That Bach violin sonata was beautiful today. What was the piece called and who was the violinist? Thanks!

Hi, that was Violin Concerto No.1 In a BWV1041: II. Andante performed by Joshua Bell on violin with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.

Phil Jackson (not the basket ball coach :)

November 13, 202316:51:34

Hi WRCJ,
Your new website looks great. However, for the past few days the display has shown “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” by Handel as being played, continuously. This is also shown when we view what’s playing on our car’s radio. The actual music played, and announcers, all sound AOK.

WorkerB

November 14, 202306:04:58

Hi Phil, sorry about that, we are in the process of replacing the music database computer in the main studio which may have caused problems with the title display. We are working on it right now.

Elissa Bluth

September 12, 202301:46:30

You played something I think on that day that was supposed to be a modern piece using instruments from brandenberg concerto it was from around 1911. I thought it was sibelius but I can’t find it, any clue?

WorkerB

September 12, 202302:39:55

Hi Elissa, we did play a piece by Sibelius on Midday Music Monday. It was The Tempest: Suite No. 2, Op. 109, No. 3. Was that the one you were looking for?

Gayle Turner

July 26, 202316:33:32

I have spent too much time looking for I thing on your playlist and I cannot find it. I think it was July 18 (could have been the 17th or 19th) around 2pm, a piece by Franz Schubert. He is my love and I really want to know what was played. Thanks! Gayle

WorkerB

July 27, 202312:14:45

Hi Gayle, a little before that on the 18th we played Schubert’s “Symphony No 8 in b, D 759 “Unfinished”: I Allegro moderato”. Was it that one?

Cathy Franklin

July 17, 202314:27:48

Oh man, thanks for the Gorecki. Haven’t heard it in quite awhile. So lovely.

WorkerB

July 17, 202316:06:22
