Thanks to Jon Schaefer for turning us on to some fascinating and unexpected music in this show. I was absolutely riveted by the music. New Sounds is the best music radio show and offers so many evenings of discovery of some of the most compelling and interesting music being made today. Thank you for being such an adventurous and terrific guide to new sounds.
Great show!
Today I discovered a very nice musical experience thru the WNYC on line, congratulations.
I listened New Music from Italy (Episode # 3225) and it was a very special experience to me. I enjoyed these regional folk songs, thanks to you and performers.
Also I listened Beethoven's and Mahler's arranged new versions, I liked it.
I made your place a favorite place.
