Review of My Classical Music Appreciation Teachers

A Wonderful Mini-Appreciation of Music Course done in a light-hearted and refreshing vein. I don't know what else to say but I liked it and I think as a drop-in, it would perk up any hour of straight classical musical. Very well done. I think I will enjoy hearing this again.

Review of My Classical Music Appreciation Teachers

An easy listening personal essay by Producer Fred Flaxman. Certainly his love of classical music is evident and it's a relaxing listen as he recounts the Golden Age of Radio hits that deftly used classical music as themes such as the Lone Ranger and Alfred Hitchcock. It's nice to remember this and his tour through these songs is quite nostaligic and softly done. This would work for any classical music station, I think, as a drop-in.
