I listen mornings and evenings. And in the daytime too. I have been missing C Sharp a lot. When will we hear her again?
-Lyn in Rochester
Hello Lyn, she has other obligations that keep her pretty busy but we try to have her substitute host whenever possible. She will be back. Thanks for listening all the time!
Hello,
Don’t know if I’m in the right area here, but I heard some great jazz from about 8:00 pm to 8:30 pm Thursday June 13. Can’t seem to locate the playlist. Can you help?
Hello Don, yes that wasn’t our usual programming. We had a technical glitch so while our engineer worked on it, our skeleton crew played a few things manually. They didn’t write down the track names unfortunately… Normally though you can find our weeknight jazz playlist here: https://radionetwork.wfmt.com/programs/jazz-network/#gallery-image/0
While listening the your station on May 25th i heard a fantastic song that I have been unable to figure out what it is. It was played at 9:09pm on May 25, 2019. I am hoping someone can look back and tell me the name of the song and the artist. Please and thank you in advance.
Hello Greg, we had another listener ask about that one as well. Around that time was “Groovin’ High” by the Keith Jarrett Trio from the album “Whisper Not Live in Paris 1999”.
Hello
You guys played a piece by Dmitri Shostakovich this week, I believe it was either Wednesday or Thursday. I didn’t get a chance to write down the name of the piece. Could you let me know what it was?
Hello Aaron, on Wednesday at 4:40pm we played Dmitri Shostakovich’s “The Second Waltz” (arranged by Andre Rieu) with Johann Strauss Orchestra and Andre Rieu on a DECCA disc, spine number: B0027355. On Thursday at 3:44pm we played his Symphony No. 10 in e, Op. 93 (2nd movement) with Bernard Haitink and the London Philharmonic Orchestra on a DECCA disc: 4757413. If you want to look at some other days, they are here: https://www.wrcjfm.org/playlists-calendar/
The best show is Lynn Warfull’s Saturday Cinema. Saturday mornings are usually brunch for us and we enjoy that hour. We enjoy the Saturday line up but have to give the edge to her. Today was the top 12 film scores of the American Film Industry. We missed the beginning of the show. Is there a way to see the recap of the list she played? Thanks!
Hello Patricia, thank you, that does seem to be a popular segment. The Saturday C24 list can be found here: https://www.classical24.org/

Today 4/16 around 10am you played a beautiful instrumental rendition of Ave Maria. What arrangement was that? Thank you!
Hello Katie, that was the Detroit Symphony Orchestra conducted by Neemi Jarvi performing Schubert’s “Ave Maria” arranged by Arthur Luck.
I was listening to your radio station on April 5, 2019 and around 10:10 am you played a catchy song that you referred to as “Warhorse”. You also stated that it was a great song to “air conduct” to. I never caught the real name of the song and would love it if you could me what it was.
Thanks so much!
Hello Doris, looking at the playlist that was probably Franz Von Suppe’s “Poet and Peasant Overture” performed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Paul Paray. That is always a popular song and an ol’ warhorse.
Hi wondering if I could get the play list for Friday, April 12, 2019 between 8:30 to 9:00 pm or so.

Hello, Saturday March 23, 2019 I heard very awesome music, sounded like a Porgy and Bess medley of sorts between 10:20 asks 11am ish. Please identify for me as my Shazam app must’ve taken a SHAZAM because it would identify. Thank you so much!
Violinist,
Jennifer Hall
Hello Jennifer, we didn’t see any Porgy and Bess medleys but we did have Gershwin’s “An American in Paris” around that time. Was that it? Performed by the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra Amsterdam and conducted by Mario Venzago.
I was listening to a GREAT choral group this a.m. around 10:23 (3/23), but missed getting their name; I’d like to hear more of them and will look for one of their CD’s
Hello Xavier, that might have been “Shenandoah” performed by the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge or “Amazing Grace” also by the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge. They were both around that time. Here is the whole playlist: https://www.classical24.org/ (just make sure you have the date on the 23rd)
I just heard a piece that sounded very similar to the end of John Williams’ “Star Wars: A New Hope”. It was on Saturday, 3/16, and ended at 12:13 pm, but I can’t find anything on the playlists. Can anyone tell me what it was? Thanks—–Jim
Hello Jim, we had a few John Williams pieces around that time. It could have been “Angela’s Ashes: Angela’s Prayer” followed by “Angela’s Ashes: The Lanes of Limerick” with Yolanda Kondonassis on the harp. Then we had “Far and Away: Suite” with Angele Dubeau and La Pieta. Finally was “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: Prologue”.
I don’t think it was actually John Williams, just sounded like him. Was anyone else playing or were they all pieces by John Williams?
Here is the complete list:
Lawrence of Arabia: Overture
Composer: Maurice Jarre
Conductor: Tony Bremner
Orchestra/Ensemble: Philharmonia Orchestra

Thank you.
I just heard a song by Kawchuck(?) which was a piano piece made to sound like a banjo. What was the name of that song?
Hello Colin, that was probably Louis Moreau Gottschalk’s “The Banjo” performed by Leonard Pennario on piano. Here is the cd: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Playlist?source=WRCJ&date=201903140720
I would like to know the name od f the waltz, the orchestra, and the date of recording of Joannes Strauss, Jr., waltz heard on March 5, 2018, around 8:20 AM
Hello Joe, that was Strauss’s “Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald” (Walzer) Op325 performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Muti. It was from their New Year’s Concert 2018 cd.
I want to thank you for your wonderful classical broadcasting program. I love the light and uplifting music along with the witty banter and knowledgeable information brought to us.
Today was my first time donating. I wouldn’t want you to go away, so am doing my part to keep you in business!
It took me awhile to decide to call. I’m from Maybee where we are very indecisive. 😉
Before I finish I would like to tell you about our rescue dog, Romeo, who has separation anxiety. WRCJ is a constant companion for him when we go away. I like to think the music sooths him as much as it does me!
Thank you!
Amy Bruck
WRCJ listener
