Meet Your Host:
Dave Bryant
How long have you been an announcer
at WCPE, and what attracted you to The
Classical Station? I began in late 2005.
When I first moved to the area and discovered WCPE, I was intrigued with the
station’s format of using live announcers
talking about the artists. Most Classical radio
sources merely give the name of the composer and the work. I liked that the announcers
gave more context (that Vivaldi had red hair
and was a priest, for instance). I felt more
involved with the music and volunteered so I
might be able to continue that theme.
How did you get involved in broadcasting? Before joining WCPE, my career was
in marketing, advertising, and psychology.
That took me around the country and the
world making speeches and conducting
workshops. I’ve always enjoyed speaking to
groups, and the announcer position allowed
me to continue that. Plus, I am able to
impart to the audience some background
about the music, the composer, or the
players. To some people, Classical music is
aloof, and I want to demonstrate that these
artists are humans too, with interesting lives
beyond their works—including foibles we
all exhibit from time to time. It makes the
music more interesting.
What is your favorite music or musician?
Copland, Dvořák, Respighi, Saint-Saëns,
Rachmaninoff, and Schubert each have
written works that move me no matter how
many times I hear them. But the list goes on.
Is there anything else your listeners might
enjoy knowing about you? Not many
people know that I have a certification in
neuro-linguistic programming. Sounds
pretty eerie, doesn’t it? Something to Google.

home sweet home
Thank you for
supporting our station
in times like these!
Thank you for pledging during our
membership drive and taking an active
role in the future of Great Classical
Music on WCPE.
Our membership drive total goal was
left open because of the uncertain
economy. We’ve cut our budget back
by 20 percent this year, from 2.4 million dollars to two million. Usually,
half of our contributions come in during the last four months of the year,
but September first did not find us
on track. So much is going to depend
upon how you and other members can
help during this last month of the year.
There just is no option—the bills have
to be paid. We all understand that,
and I really appreciate your solidarity standing by the station during these unsure times.
During our thirty-four years on the air, we’ve
seen a great deal and made it through some
difficult times, as I’m sure you have. We
have to get to that elusive two million–dollar
mark, because that is the cost for the year’s
operations. To get to the total needed, we
will need a short fund raiser later this month
while trying for the bulk of the funding
through the mail.
Leaving a legacy for The Classical Station:
We’ve just seen the days grow shorter and
the leaves drop from the trees. During times
like this I tend to look back over the years
and reflect upon the things I’ve accomplished with my life. I’m sure you’ve done
similarly.
My greatest legacy is going to be this station.
I hope you will give some thought to joining
me and becoming a part of this station’s
legacy, too. Would you consider joining my
hopeful plans for this station’s future and
leaving a part of your personal legacy to
Great Classical Music? You would help our
successors keep the spirit of this beautiful

music alive forever on WCPE Radio, The
Classical Station. Your gift would reach
across the nation and around the world for
decades to come! Hundreds of thousands of
people around the world would benefit from
your generosity.
Leaving a beautiful legacy that lives beyond
our own personal time is one of the most
important things we can accomplish in life.
We all want to ensure that the assets we leave
behind will pass easily to our loved ones and
our worthy causes. With your estate planning, please consider a bequest to help with
our work of sharing this everlasting music
with the future.
These are trying times for everyone; some
more than others. I hope you can see that
your support of what we do here has a
significant and beneficial impact on the lives
of hundreds of thousands of listeners. Thank
you for helping to keep Great Classical
Music alive and well on this station!

Maschera.

December 16
WCPE marks the start of the Festival of
Lights with special music at 6:00 p.m. ET
on December 8, with more seasonal selections throughout the eight-day celebration.
Beethovenfest
December 14–16
The music of Ludwig van Beethoven is often
called “heroic.” It celebrates human potential, including the strength of will that drove
him to write some of his most moving works
after he could no longer hear them. We celebrate the legacy of this musical giant, 242
years after his birth, with a three-day festival
culminating on his (presumed) birthday of
December 16.
Russian Romantics Weekend
January 12–13
The music of Russia embodies folk tradition,
spiritualism, the ice of winter, and the fire of
vodka. Join WCPE for two days of favorites
from Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, RimskyKorsakov, and a host of others.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day
January 21
We celebrate the legacy of Dr. King
with music of American composers and
performers.
Mozart Madness
January 25–27
That Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart could write
a symphony at the age of eight is remarkable.
That the dying adult left us with his achingly
beautiful Requiem is a gift to mankind.
WCPE celebrates the wunderkind from
Salzburg for three days, through his birthday
on January 27.
Black History Month
February
Christmas
We’ll celebrate music by composers and
performers of African descent throughout
the month.
December 25
Valentine’s Day (by advance request)
The Classical tradition is rich with the
sounds of this “most wonderful time of
the year,” from meditations on the angel’s
message to the revelry of the wassail bowl.
WCPE brings you the best in music for the
Christmas season this December.
All-Request Fridays
December 28, January 25, and
February 22
You’re the music director, from 9:00 a.m.

your sweetie. Requests must be received by
February 7 online or through the U.S. Postal
Service.
Simply Strings Weekend
February 16–17
We feature a variety of music from the
strings family—violin, viola, cello, bass,
guitar, harp, and more—with an eye on the
new generation of string performers. (See
page 28.)
Presidents Day
February 18
Tune in to hear patriotic selections and
American music to honor our leaders
through the years.

Renaissance Fare will visit several European
countries on our December program for a glimpse
of the sounds of Christmas during the 1400s and
1500s. Many beautiful holiday tunes and hymns
were written during the Renaissance period. So
if you would like to hear something very original
and different this season, tune in and enjoy the
sounds of “A Renaissance Christmas.”
January 14, 2013
What was New Year’s Day like musically 500 years
ago? Even the wonderful Vienna Philharmonic
had not been invented yet! “Ringing in the New
Year” will explore holiday music during the
Renaissance period in Europe. Celebrating the
first day of the new year has been an important
tradition even before the existence of the Julian
calendar. Dancing and partying require music!
Find out how they did it way back in the day.
February 11, 2013
The month of February deserves “A French Toast…
to Love!” We’ll take a look at the top ten most
popular chansons (or love songs) in Paris during
the Renaissance period. The most romantic city
in the world earned its status, at least in part, by
its music.
Listen to Renaissance Fare on the second
Monday of each month on WCPE!

Hymns have always played an important role in
church music. We shall survey hymns ancient and
modern. If you enjoy descants, you won’t want
to miss this show. The choirs of King’s College
(Cambridge); St. Paul’s Cathedral (London); and
St. Paul’s Parish, K Street (Washington, DC) are

This morning’s theme is Music Written by Young
Composers. It features anthems, motets, and
masses written by some famous composers while
they were young. Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schubert,
and Puccini reveal their early promise of great
genius.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Christmas Oratorio is
actually six cantatas which the master wrote for
the days of the Christmas season. This is festive
music of the highest order.
The Psalms of David are a focal point of JudeoChristian worship. The psalter has inspired composers in every age to write in a variety of styles
from simple plainsong to elaborate anthems by
César Franck and William Mathias.

Ash Wednesday was February 13. We observe this
penitential season of Lent with music by Gregorio
Allegri, William Byrd, Pablo Casals, and Sir John
Stainer.
Choral music from the Middle Ages comes in a
variety of styles and forms. You will hear tropes,
plainchant, motets, and more as we explore this
vibrant period in musical history.

and organ music on this show. It promises to be a
Sacred Music Conundrum.

Eye on Education
This quarter, I thought you might enjoy
reading about a young woman who is grateful for your contribution to the WCPE
Education Fund.
Devonna is a seventeen-year-old violin
player. She has been playing ever since she
was four and a half years old, when her
mother brought a violin into their Ohio
home and signed Devonna up for lessons
through the Cleveland Music Settlement.
Devonna and her mother moved to North
Carolina just before Devonna’s freshman
year in high school, a tough time to start
making friends anew. Devonna’s school does
not offer music lessons, and the family had
limited options, so her mother contacted
MYCO–Chapel Hill this summer. Through
MYCO (and her mother’s vigilant commitment to shuttle her to and from lessons),
Devonna has received private weekly lessons
from top instructors associated with major
universities in the state since July. Support
from the WCPE Education Fund this summer has allowed her to improve her skill
tremendously through a workshop that
placed her in two chamber groups, a trio
and a quintet. Devonna confesses the music
was quite challenging, but learning to play
in this new setting—with someone playing
something completely different right beside
her—is an accomplishment that makes her
beam with joy.
Juggling her musical commitment with other
activities could be frustrating, but Devonna
is forthright in telling me it’s completely
worth it. When asked about her plans for the
future, Devonna says that she wants to work
towards a degree in nursing while earning a
minor in music. She looks forward to playing in a university orchestra.
Speaking with Devonna, it seemed clear
to me that her financial limitations have
Devonna continues her music
education with your help
not affected her desire to make music, to
work hard, and to help others. Family and
community support have provided her with
the tools she needs to build confidence and
improve her musical skills. Perhaps one day
while she checks your blood pressure and
notes your remarkable heart health, you will
see that twinkle in her eye when you reply,
“It must be the Classical music.”
Upcoming performances of MYCO-Chapel
Hill Students are listed at mycomusic.org.

lately we’ve read
Don Andres and Paquita:
The Life of Segovia in
Montevideo
By Alfredo Escande
Amadeus Press; 351 pages
A review by R. C. Speck
Biographer Alfredo Escande begins his
intriguing biography of Classical guitarist
Andrés Segovia with a question. What happened in Montevideo, Uruguay? We know
Segovia lived there from the mid-1930s to
the mid-1940s with his pianist wife, the
former child prodigy Paquita Madriguera.
We also know they had their daughter
Beatriz in Montevideo. But when Segovia
died in 1987, few seemed willing to write
about this obscure yet crucial period of his
life. Escande corrects this glaring omission in
Don Andres and Paquita: the Life of Segovia in
Montevideo.
Relying much on primary sources such as
newspaper reviews and interviews, letters
to friends, and eyewitness accounts from
Madriguera’s surviving daughters, Escande
not only tells the tragic love story of two
remarkable Spanish musicians but also
provides a vivid account of the cultural life
and politics of South America during the
mid–twentieth century.
Included is the gripping episode of how
Segovia, Madriguera, and her three young
daughters escaped Spain during the Spanish
Civil War in 1936. Because of Segovia’s
steadfast support for the Franco regime and
his opposition to the Leftist Republican forces (who threatened to murder Madriguera),
many opportunities in Europe and the
United States remained closed to him for
years.
In Montevideo, Segovia cemented his reputation as a world renowned guitarist while
fostering fruitful relationships and collaborations with other great artists such as Spanish
guitarist Miguel Llobet, Mexican composer
Manuel Ponce, Brazilian composer Heitor
Villa-Lobos, Lithuanian-born American violinist Jascha Heifetz, and others. Noted also
was Segovia’s rather chilly relationship with
26
that other great Spanish
musician, Pablo Casals, who unlike
Segovia was a staunch opponent of Franco.
Perhaps most importantly, Segovia continued to expand the guitar repertoire through
his transcriptions of works by composers
such as Bach, Handel, and Haydn.
In the midst of this South American cultural
renaissance, the stage for the sad unraveling of the relationship between Segovia and
Madriguera was set. After World War II, as
Segovia’s fame was reaching its height, doors
began to open for him that before were
closed. He was feted in New York City as a
superstar. There he met Brazilian singer Olga
Coelho, and their affair would ultimately
ruin what he and Madriguera had worked
so hard to build in Montevideo. From there,
the story only grows more tragic, especially when considering the sad fate of their
daughter Beatriz.
Segovia traveled to nearly every corner of
the globe during his long career and became
perhaps the most celebrated Classical guitarist of all time. Fittingly, his emotional life
was itinerant as well, one that left many
fractured relationships and much pain in its
wake. Nowhere is this story more poignant
than his tumultuous time with Paquita, the
brilliant, stubborn woman he left behind in
Montevideo. q
e
lately we’ve heard
By Bob Chapman
One could
make a strong
case for
declaring that
the Choir of
King’s College,
Cambridge
University, is
the world’s most
famous choral
group—especially if you’re a fan of Oxbridge
collegiate chapel choirs. It’s certainly one
of the best, if we are to judge them by their
newest CD, A Year at King’s.
King’s College was founded by King Henry
VI in 1441, and the chapel was completed
in 1544. The all-male choir, which draws
its singers from the college and the adjacent school, is primus inter pares in the
small world of English university choirs.
The annual Christmas Eve Festival of Nine
Lessons and Carols is broadcast around the
world on the BBC.
Est,” and Orlande de Lassus’s “Videntes
Stellam Magi” celebrates the Feast of the
Epiphany. Also heard are Tomás Luis de
Victoria’s motet “Ascendens Christus in
Altum,” Johannes Eccard’s “When to the
Temple,” Peter Philips’s “Surgens Jesus,” and
Gregorio Allegri’s setting of the penitential
Psalm 51, “Miserere.”
Skipping the 17th and 18th centuries
entirely, conductor Stephen Cleobury
focuses his well-drilled singers on Charles
Villiers Stanford’s motet “Coelos Ascendit
Hodie,” Charles Wood’s “Tis the Day
of Resurrection,” Gustav Holst’s “Nunc
Dimittis” (“Song of Simeon”), Francis
Poulenc’s “Videntes Stellam,” Samuel
Barber’s “Agnus Dei” (an arrangement of his
Adagio for Strings), Estonian composer Arvo
Pärt’s “Magnificat Antiphons,” and John
Tavener’s delightful new setting of “Away in
a Manger.”
This CD is recommended especially for
fans of liturgical music from the Anglican
(Episcopalian) tradition. q

A Review of A Year at King’s:
Choir of King’s College,
Cambridge
A Year at King’s is a musical tour of the
church year. The period from Advent
to Ascension, roughly the beginning of
December to the middle of May, celebrates
the major events of Christ’s life: his birth,
death, and resurrection.
Not surprisingly, in nearly 73 minutes, this
gorgeous CD devotes the lion’s share to
works by 16th-century composers: Thomas
Tallis’s 40-part motet “Spem in Alium,”
Francisco Guerrero’s Advent hymn “Canite
Tuba,” Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina’s
Christmas anthem “Hodie Christus Natus

Future Strings
players of guitar, violin, cello, and others.
There have been many famous string players
over the years. In Classical music, perhaps
to be mentioned first is Nicolò Paganini,
whom most critics believe to be the best
violinist who ever lived. Other examples of
notable string players include Jascha Heifetz,
Itzhak Perlman, Andrés Segovia, Yo-Yo Ma,
and Joshua Bell, and in recent years the list
includes some distinguished female artists
like Sarah Chang, Midori, Hilary Hahn, and
Anne-Sophie Mutter.
So, who’s next? Which newcomers can play
along with the likes of the list above?

p.m., we’ll feature Classical guitar favorites
performed by Miloš Karadaglić, the young
guitar sensation from Montenegro. It’s a
weekend you will not want to miss. q

Music, Classical or otherwise, has been
around a long time—over 400 centuries!
Oxford University has dated a flute carved
from a mammoth’s ivory that goes back over
40,000 years. The string section of music is
a little more recent, a little less than 5,000
years old; it probably began as a harp-like
device and now includes a wide variety of
instruments from the violin, viola, and cello
all the way to the hurdy gurdy.
For instance, Vilde Frang of Norway has
been playing with orchestras since she was
12 years old. One reviewer said of this young
violinist: “Not only does she master it all
technically, but it is how she uses her technique—as though the violin was a human
voice, she speaks with her violin” (Stuttgarter
Zeitung as quoted at www.vildefrang.com/
reviews/pressquotes). Taiwanese-Australian
Ray Chen picked up the violin at the early
age of 4 and won first prize in the international Yehudi Menuhin Competition at 19.
Cellist Nathalie Clein of Britain won the
BBC Young Musician of the Year award at
16. If you’re fond of the Classical guitar, then
you will enjoy music played by Xuefei Yang
of China; she has been labeled as one of the
best guitarists on the planet.

A Review of The Beethoven
Journey
By William Woltz
It’s hard to
imagine that
celebrated
Norwegian pianist
Leif Ove Andsnes
has never
before released
a Beethoven
recording. But now he turns his attention
to that piano giant, with plans to record
Beethoven’s five piano concertos and his
Choral Fantasy with the Mahler Chamber
Orchestra over the next four years.
The first installment in this Beethoven
Journey series for the Sony Classical
Lastly, we are very pleased to announce that,
finally, the iPhone and Droid apps for which
many of our listeners have been clamoring will be appearing in the Apple iTunes
and Droid Store by the time you read these
words! q
“ ”
Tones sound and roar and storm about
me until I have set them down in notes.
(Ludwig van Beethoven)
label shows that he’s off to a good start.
Andsnes pairs Beethoven’s concertos
numbers 1 and 3, in C Major and C
Minor, respectively, and he brings to
bear a degree of passion, nuance, and
musical insight that you would expect
after hearing his well-known recordings
of Rachmaninoff and Grieg.
The chamber orchestra, similar in size
to ensembles for which Beethoven
wrote, gives a sound that is fresh and
lean but not thin. Andsnes directs from
the keyboard, again a practice dating to
when the works were written.
This disc is a welcome addition to
the many fine Beethoven concerto
recordings already available and a great
introduction to these marvelous works
for the uninitiated.

what you’re saying/donor spotlight
What You’re Saying
I discovered your station a couple of years
ago when two stations within range of my
radio switched from Classical music to news/
talk. After some time wandering around the
Internet listening to stations from all over
the world, I settled on your station as my
favorite. I like the broad music selection.
Your announcers sound like they know the
music. I have great admiration for the many
members of the staff who volunteer their
time. Congratulations to Deborah Proctor
for her talents and determination in making
the wonderful station a long-lived reality. I
am proud to be a financial contributor, and
I talk up WCPE to anyone who might be
interested. (Jeff in Spring Hill, Florida)
I discovered WCPE a few years ago and
even though I left the Triangle, I still stream
WCPE on a regular basis. Thanks for the
great music 24 hours a day! (Barbara from a
Facebook post)
WCPE is the only station I listen to; I love
you guys! (Cheryl from Hillsborough)
I found WCPE when my son was 3 months
old. I play it through the night in his nursery
while he sleeps. He’s 16 months now. We
love it! (Kyla from Raleigh)
Nothing makes my day more than listening to WCPE. During Opera House it gets
even better. (AJ from a Tweet)
Tony Anello
I grew up in New York City. My earliest
recollection of Classical music was when
I was about five or six years old. My
grandfather loved opera, and he had a large
collection of opera recordings on 12-inch 78
rpm disks, which he played on a manually
operated Victor Talking Machine Company
phonograph called the Victrola. This model
was a floor-standing unit that had a big
horn for a speaker and was bigger than my
grandmother’s ice box. When I visited my
grandfather, my job was to turn the crank handle to wind up the spring that
drove the turntable. My lifelong love of opera and Classical music in general is
a result of this early experience. When I was growing up, the premier Classical
music radio station in New York was WQXR, which I listened to all the time,
especially during the Saturday afternoon live broadcasts from the Met.
When I moved to Raleigh in 1966, there was no comparable Classical music
radio station available, so I had to be satisfied with playing my own collection
of recordings. On Labor Day weekend in 1978, my neighbor, who also loved
Classical music, asked me if I was listening to the new Classical music station
in Raleigh, 89.7 on the dial. I tuned in and have never tuned out. Shortly
thereafter I became a donor and then a volunteer and have remained so to
this day.
How fortunate we are to have WCPE available to us.—Tony Anello
