Dear Peter-
A week or so ago you played a piece from a recording by Serge Nakariakov, trumpet. I have tried to find a recording to purchase but have not been successful. Can you help? Details below.

Hi David, the spine number indicates this album:

Might want to double check the piece you liked is on there. Thanks for tuning in each day!
The playlist for 12-1-20 seems to be incorrect. there was a version of Aldred Burt’s Christmas Bouquet played around 10.15 and its not listed. Can you tell me what the recording was?
Hi Paul, Dr, Dave added that in, it was the Boston Pops Orchestra under John Williams with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus on a SONY disc, spine number 48232.
Why isn’t there a play list for today ?
Hi Bill, it’s there, have a look here: https://www.wrcjfm.org/events/playlist-1118/
If you don’t see today’s playlist on the calendar sometimes, try refreshing the page.
Really enjoyed the capriccio for bassoon & piano with Bob Williams. Would enjoy hearing that again & others like it.
Thanks Fred, we’ll see what else we’ve got!

A very warm welcome to you, Peter! I know my brother, Chris, would be delighted to see the direction you will take the midday offering. I wish you all the best, and know that good things are around the corner.
