The nationally-syndicated WFMT Radio Network series Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin this week (October 13 to 17) takes up music and music critics. In Chicago, the one-hour program airs at 7 p.m. CDT Mondays to Fridays on 98.7WFMT and by live streaming at wfmt.com. Air times and dates in other cities vary. The program is not archived or podcast due to copyright restrictions. If you visit the Exploring Music website for details, click on "U.S. Playlists" and the numbers 1-5 under "October 13-17, 2008: Nobody Ever Builds a Statue to a Critic" for descriptions of this week's programs, which also include excerpts of Bill's interviews with and music suggestions from Tim Page, Joseph Horowitz, John von Rhein, and Terry Teachout. (Disclosure: I had nothing to do with organizing this week of programs or picking the participants and I have not heard any of the programs in this week's series.)
Friday's program (October 17) includes excerpts from an interview Bill had with me last month and also my suggestion of music to play, at least in excerpts, the Cedille Records world première recording of Robert Kurka's 1957 American opera The Good Soldier Schweik in the Chicago Opera Theater production with Alexander Platt conducting (left).
