T-Zero:

Good evening, Bethany. Have been looking forward to this evening's program and what you made of our comments last week. ;)

bethany:

Hello all! Glad you are out there. Lots of notes tonight! Short ones at that!
  8:17pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

There was a kind of heavy metal documentary on VH-1 and they mentioned some bands from Germany, Finland & Scandinavia that incorporate some classical music into their songs.
  8:19pm
rick in sc:

Lovin' your show!
  8:22pm
Skirkie:

The nut?
  8:22pm
T-Zero:

Where you groping for the word "bridge"?
  8:23pm
other david:

tuned in and enjoying muchly :)
  8:25pm
A listener:

Wait - we're going to hear Frank Bridge? Perhaps the two bridges canceled each other out and that's why the word was not available to Bethany.

bethany:

I like that idea. Thank you for the assist!!
  8:30pm
T-Zero:

Happens to us all... the mind going blank... ;)

bethany:

T-Zero, except we're wrong, I knew it wasn't bridge...it was the FINGERBOARD! Damn! Too many bridges...two in that set!
  8:35pm
T-Zero:

Ahhh. Sorry! But I've already forgotten now why you were talking about it lol... all I remember is something about him tuning ...
Avatar 8:35pm
bethany:

The 'Bartok' Pizzicato is plucked so hard it slaps against the fingerboard.

Next time I'll do better on my book report.
  8:37pm
Patron X:

Turning off my phone now...
  8:37pm
T-Zero:

Ahhhhh. That's right! And the bridge wouldn't have much to do with tuning anyway (so I was wrong all the way round, sorry), as that would be more the pegs, wouldn't it?
  8:38pm
T-Zero:

@Patron X: lol
  8:40pm
T-Zero:

Ohhhh, Peter Sculthorpe... I like!
  8:41pm
listener gary:

Var. on a theme by Frank Bridge is one of my all time favorites. Many thanks...
  8:42pm
a different listener:

nice transition from Mahler to Schulthorpe, whoever he is. was looking for professor dum dum archives, but might have to stay with this show a while
  8:43pm
T-Zero:

Unless this is a different person, Sculthorpe is Australian
  8:46pm
G:

Sculthorpe (no ch)...

wikipedia: Peter Joshua Sculthorpe AO OBE (born 29 April 1929) is an Australian composer. Much of his music has resulted from an interest in the music of Australia's neighbours as well as from the impulse to bring together aspects of native Australian music with that of the heritage of the West. He is known primarily for his orchestral and chamber music, such as Kakadu (1988) and Earth Cry (1986), which evoke the sounds and feeling of the Australian bushland and outback. He has also written 17 string quartets, using unusual timbral effects, works for piano, and two operas.
  8:49pm
a different listener:

go figure. the wikipedia editorial board allowed the entry for Sculthorpe, but decided that Glenn Jones didn't merit his own entry.
  8:52pm
T-Zero:

Whoa... These piano piceces... not good after too much coffee... lol
  8:52pm
G:

Sculthorpe might really be Australia's best-known living classical composer. He's pretty encyclopedia-worthy.
  8:53pm
T-Zero:

@Bethany... in all seriousness, thanks a lot for the program. It's been great, if as usual all too brief.
  8:53pm
Emperor Joseph:

Too many notes and not enough time.
  8:54pm
mrmucho:

Great set, Bethany. This show is making Mondays tolerable.

2 points of for spelling! I need an engineer, a playlist database administer and another 2 hours ;)
  8:56pm
12539:

(Speaking of spelling, isn't it Ernesto Lecuona?)

A most marvelous hour.
  8:58pm
Drewtube:

Quite the out of body experience to hear Ravel while walking into The Living Room! Great to hear you once more!
  8:59pm
a different listener:

glad i stumbled in here! long time caller, first time listener, or something like that. didn't know there was a show like this hidden on this here station.
  9:00pm
12539:

Spelling is irrelevant on the radio.
  9:01pm
Skirkie:

Yes, a show with just 2 or 3 pieces would be equally great.
  12:14pm
Paul H:

Peter 'Shoolthorp'? Must be 'Skullthorpe' surely. That's the way I've always heard it before, anyway. Great to have you back, Bethany. Shame I've only just found out - 2011 could have been so much better! Never thought I'd hear you playing tracks by Beethoven, but where you go I will follow.
