Meet Your Host: Steve Thebes How long have you been an announcer at WCPE, and what attracted you to TheClassicalStation? I’ve been an announcer at WCPE for almost four years, starting in February of 2012. I’ve been lis-tening to the station since moving to North Carolina from Chicago in 2002. I decided it was finally time to get involved in broadcast-ing after friends kept telling me for years that I should because of my “radio voice”!What is your favorite genre of music? Who are some of your favorite composers and artists? Jazz is really my favorite genre of music. I love the great jazz guitarists. Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, and Charlie Byrd. But I also love Classical music! For some reason, I’m fond of the sad pieces. Mozart’s Requiem, Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem, and Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings. I also like contemplative works like Vaughn Williams’s The Lark Ascending. I also enjoy all the recordings by the English guitarist and lutenist Julian Bream.Do you have a background in music per-formance? I play the guitar and bass with the St. Bernadette Choir in Fuquay-Varina, just south of Raleigh.Are there any concerts which you have attended that stand out in your memory? Is there anything else you’d like your listeners to know about you? Many years ago during college, I studied for one semes-ter in Salzburg, Austria. I was constantly surrounded by great music! During a trip to Vienna, I was able to see a performance of Don Giovanni at the Wiener Staatsoper. Keep listening to and supporting our great Classical station! It truly is a pleasure to host Preview on Sunday evenings.

winter highlightsBy William Woltz

The Metropolitan OperaSaturday, December 5A new season of live broadcasts begins December 5 at 1:00 p.m. ET, with Puccini’s La Bohème.

Chanukah (Hanukkah)Begins at sunset Sunday, December 6We’ll celebrate Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, with a program of special music on December 6 at 6:00 p.m., with additional seasonal selections through the eight-day observance.

BeethovenfestDecember 14–16Unbeaten by his loss of hearing, composer Ludwig van Beethoven vowed to “seize fate by the throat,” and proceeded to create some of the most engaged, passionate, and uplifting music mankind has ever known. WCPE’s annual three-day salute will include Beethoven’s greatest symphonies, sonatas, concertos, and more, culminating in the glori-ous Ninth Symphony at 8:00 p.m. on the presumed day of his birth (December 16).

ChristmasDecember 25Music of joy and merriment, mystery, and awe as we celebrate this most wonderful time of the year. WCPE brings you the best in Christmas music from the Classical tradition this December.

All-Request FridaysDecember 18, January 29, and February 26The All-Request Friday for December is our holiday edition, and it comes a week early, on December 18. Request your favorite Classical selections for the season, and we’ll play them from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. that day. Then it’s back to the final Friday of the month for January and February. Submit your request online anytime at theclassicalstation.org, or call WCPE at 919.556.0123 on the morning of the request program.

Russian Romantics WeekendJanuary 15–17Music of passion, color, and mystery, steeped in deep folk traditions. It’s no wonder this is one of our favorite weekend features. We’ll celebrate with Russian favorites from Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff, and others beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, January 15, during the WCPE Concert Hall.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. DayJanuary 18We celebrate the legacy of Dr. King with music of American composers and performers.

Mozart MadnessJanuary 25–27Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: the boy wonder pianist from Salzburg, the troubled young genius of Vienna. He could imagine complex music fully formed in his head, simply having to write it down. In his brief life he gave us operas, symphonies, piano concertos, and a requiem unlike anything that came before or since. Join WCPE for a three-day celebration of all things Mozart, culminating on his birth-day, January 27.

Black History MonthFebruaryWe’ll celebrate music by composers and performers of African ancestry throughout the month.

Valentine’s Day (by advance request)Sunday, February 14Make a Classical music request in honor of your sweetie. We’ll play as many requests as we can from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day. Requests must be received by February 7 online or through the U.S. Postal Service.

Presidents DayFebruary 15Patriotic selections and American music to honor our leaders through the years.

Simply Strings WeekendFebruary 20–21Violin, viola, cello, bass, guitar, mando-lin, harp, and more—a weekend of Great Classical Music featuring strings and the play-ers that make them go zing!

Deborah S. ProctorGeneral Manager

The Wonderful World of Budgeting!I hope you are doing well and that things are good with your friends and family, too.We at WCPE Radio, TheClassicalStation, are going to try some new ideas to ensure we keep this station and our Great Classical Music moving forward and growing. These new ideas seem to be working for other com-munity radio stations.We’ve given a good amount of thought and discussion to how we can improve our fun-draisers, and it’s my hope to keep and add as much “fun” in the fund drives as we can.Over the years, I’ve found, and other station managers agree, that there is an optimum number of total on-air fund-raising days. On one hand, with no fundraisers, we would get no new donors, and on the other, if we hold fundraising breaks too often, we alien-ate listeners. Our goal is to find the sweet spot where we all enjoy the few fundraising breaks as well as the music.So here’s what we’re going to try: several short drives, instead of two long spring and fall drives. The first test should be starting just as you read this. We’re going to have a two-day drive on the last day of November and the first day of December. We’ve picked out some very good thank-you gifts, like chocolates, a Classical music book that is perfect for children, and several popular compact discs.You will be pleased to know that the last moments of December are when we get some of our most generous gifts, and we may have to ask for a last-minute donation from all our faithful friends. January and February are extremely slow donation months, and I must have a basket of acorns stored away for the first sixty days of each new year.I don’t want to noticeably add to the overall number of fundraising days, so we will see whether this experiment—several shorter mini-drives—will do better financially and sound better.We want to improve our service to you. So I would like to ask you for your feedback on how the new mini-drive idea sounds.

I’d also like to know your thoughts on how we’re doing. For instance: What do you like most about WCPE’s musical programming? Is there anything you would change about WCPE? You can mail us at WCPE Radio Survey/P.O. Box 897/Wake Forest, NC 27588. Would you drop me a line and let me know?We bring you Great Classical Music 24 hours a day, and we do so with live announc-ers. A real person who enjoys Classical music just as much as you do is available by telephone at any hour of the day or night for a question, or just to say, “Hello, that last work was great; how can I get a copy?” A kind human being, who cares about you and what you think, is happily willing to stay up all night, and be here on weekends and holi-days, just in case you want to phone your station for Great Classical Music whenever the fancy strikes you. I think you will agree, this is one of our strengths.

Thank you! So very much.

wcpe in the communityBy Tara LynnOur grant to Chamber Music Raleigh (formerly Raleigh Chamber Music Guild) supports this new community initiative to bring Oak City String Quartet to various Wake County Public Library branches for family concerts introducing chamber music to young families.On Saturday, September 26, Oak City String Quartet performed Beethoven’s legendary opus 130 String Quartet for an enthusiastic audience ranging in age from very young to very wise. This free and family-friendly event at Raleigh’s Cameron Village Library was the first of three library concerts made possible thanks to the WCPE Education Fund.

“I think [Beethoven’s opus 130 String Quartet] is just perfect for the library series,” Oak City String Quartet violinist Jacqueline Wolborsky told us in an interview before the concert. “The Cavatina, which is the fifth movement of the piece, was actually chosen to be sent in outer space in the 1970s to rep-resent Earth Sounds…It’s such an incredible representation of chamber music.”Bring everyone in your family (yes, even the squirmers and dancers. All are welcome!). We’ll publicize the remaining two library concerts on the WCPE web site and on air. Additional information about Chamber Music Raleigh’s ensemble in residence, Oak City String Quartet, can be found at www.chambermusicraleigh.org/education. q

honoring alfred brendelHonoring Alfred BrendelBy Dan McHughJanuary 5 marks the 85th birthday of acclaimed pianist Alfred Brendel. The award-winning musician who says that laughter is one of his favorite hobbies was born in Wiesenberg, a city now in the Czech Republic, and began playing the piano at the age of six. Following the Second World War, he won a prize at the 1949 Ferruccio Busoni Piano Competition and began recording music at the age of 21. He was only the second pianist in history to perform the complete Beethoven cycle of piano sonatas at Carnegie Hall, and he has recorded for over 70 albums. WCPE will feature many of his admirable recordings on his birthday and throughout WCPE’s annual Beethovenfest from December 14 through 16.

Before officially retiring from public performance in 2008, many regarded Brendel as a leading interpreter of music from the Classical Era. Brendel’s recording of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no. 3 in C Minor will be featured on January 5. This remarkable concerto, with the piano solo entering with an ascending C Minor scale and then taking on the full theme of the orchestra, is a gem among Brendel’s rep-ertoire. He made several recordings of this important concerto throughout his long career with many leading orchestras.We will also play Brendel’s recordings of Schubert’s Impromptus, D. 935, written in 1827, and Schumann’s Fantasy Pieces, op. 12. WCPE, TheClassicalStation, is proud to honor pianist Alfred Brendel as we celebrate his 85th birthday. q

lately we’ve readPlaying Before the Lord: The Life and Work of Joseph Haydn

By Calvin R. StapertWilliam B. Eerdsmans Publishing Company; 267 pages A review by R. C. SpeckHow does one write a biography of a man whose personal life could charitably be referred to as humdrum? How does one write a biography of a man who believed his own story “could interest nobody?”By selecting the great composer Joseph Haydn as the subject of his remarkable biography Playing Before the Lord, author Calvin Stapert makes it look easy.Through Stapert’s clear and insightful narration, we are treated not only to a condensed retelling of the highs and lows (but mostly highs) of Haydn’s life but also to the greatest hits, so to speak, of his work. Stapert recognizes the pitfalls in writing about music and instead offers to “guide a listener’s ears to be more perceptive.” He does this with staff notation, charts, and in-depth critical assessments of Haydn’s most important pieces.One recurring theme is Haydn’s use of surprise. Of course, there is the Surprise Symphony (no. 94). But what about the unexpected use of minor-key countermelody in his Horn Signal Symphony (no. 31) or the unprecedented barrage of percussion in his Military Symphony (no. 100)?Another theme is Haydn’s ability to innovate. After all, he established the structure of the symphony which persisted nearly unchanged into the 20th century. And this says nothing of what he did for the string quartet, which may not have existed as we know it without him.

Stapert reminds us that Haydn may lag in popularity these days when compared to his two younger contemporaries, Mozart and Beethoven. But this is undeserved. Stapert’s deft pen rights this wrong with Haydn’s lesser known works as much as with his hits. For example, Stapert spends much time on Haydn’s later quartets, his Sixth Symphony, his Stabat Mater, and his keyboard trios and sonatas. As for the hits, Stapert also comes through, as with Haydn’s London Symphonies, his quartets (opuses 20 and 33 especially), and, of course, The Creation.Alongside this is Haydn the man. While not as boring as Haydn himself claims he was, he resembles a Horatio Alger character: always conquering adversity with optimism, faith, and hard work. Haydn didn’t always do this with talent, such as when he sold the same work to different publishers or once passed off his student’s work as his own!In the end, Haydn was loved the world over. Stapert endeavors to explain how Haydn’s music provides “rest and refreshment” by “awakening our sense to a deeper reality than the confusion, ugliness, and troubles…on the surface of our daily lives.” In Playing Before the Lord, Stapert goes well below the surface of Haydn’s music to do this, and he makes us want to go there as well. q
