Meet Your Host:
Howard Burchette
How long have you been an announcer
at WCPE, and what attracted you to The
Classical Station? I began as an announcer
at WCPE in 2009 and currently host Music
in the Night on Friday evenings from 10:00
p.m. until midnight ET. WCPE is a leader
in this industry, is well respected in the
community, and contains a knowledgeable
professional staff.

How did you get involved in broadcasting? My first experience in broadcasting
began in 1996 with my first show, called
“Evening Jazz.” It aired on 90.7 WNCU FM.
WCPE in the Community.....25
What is your favorite music or musician?
What is your favorite genre of music? My
favorite Classical composer is William Grant
Still. A favorite composition that I enjoy is
the “The Swan of Tuonela,” written by Jean
Sibelius in 1895. My first appreciation of
Classical music began as a kid…from the
themes of television shows like The Lone
Ranger and The Green Hornet. Popular
cartoons of that period like Bugs Bunny,
Tom and Jerry, and [those by] Disney also
contained Classical music.
Lately We’ve Heard
Is there anything else your listeners might
enjoy knowing about you? I love the art
of radio and host the Funk Show on 90.7
WNCU FM on Saturday afternoons. This
is an R&B show which I began hosting in
2003. There is a crossover between Jazz and
Classical music, and I have had the fortunate
opportunity to play and talk about it. Some
of the artists have been Duke Ellington, Dave
Brubeck, Keith Jarrett, Wynton Marsalis,
Branford Marsalis, Scott Joplin, and Yo-Yo
Ma. My web page is thefunkshow.com.

This One is Very Close
I believe that the most powerful
statements are those that come right
out and say the truth. It costs about
two million dollars a year to run this
station, and costs are going up, not
down. We all know that. And we all
want to hear Great Classical Music
continue on WCPE Radio and theclassicalstation.org. The truth is that we
received $433,817 in pledges during
our spring fund drive, and although
many listeners did the best they could,
many listeners are depending on “the
other guy.”
I hope the membership drive showed
all listeners that Great Classical Music
is something that we all value and that
it is something that we all must nurture and support. So I will leave you
with this thought: whom do you know who
listens to our station but doesn’t understand
that we operate entirely on donations from
the public, that we don’t get a government
check, and that we are here for them 24
hours a day? Help us get that message to caring and well-meaning but unaware people.
Deborah S. Proctor
General Manager
You are part of the WCPE community,
and you play an important part in helping
to keep us going. That is something to be
proud of! Thank you for your support; now
let’s try to get others into the fold!
Sincerely,
Every time you tell people about WCPE, tell
them why you feel so good about donating.
Do you have friends whose cities have lost
their Classical music stations?
Tell them that they can stream
Great Classical Music 24 hours a day at
theclassicalstation.org/listen.shtml!

summer highlights
By William Woltz
Cartoons at Noon
Every day in June
For many of us, our first exposure to
Classical music came from the Saturday
morning adventures of a “wascally wabbit.”
From Bugs Bunny to Bart Simpson, we’ll
revisit some of the great musical selections
that have made the classic cartoons so much
better.
Americana Weekend
July 5–7
We say “happy birthday” to our great nation
on July 4 with lots of patriotic selections
and American music. Then we continue that
theme through a long “Americana weekend”
featuring great U.S. composers, orchestras,
and soloists. It’s music that will make you
proud.
Women’s Equality Day
August 26
A great opportunity to feature women in
Classical music, from Clara Schumann and
Fanny Mendelssohn to Jennifer Higdon,
Joan Tower, and the other composers who
are shaping today’s Classical landscape.
All-Request Fridays
June 28, July 26, August 30
You’re the music director, from 9:00 a.m.
to 10:00 p.m. Eastern time. Submit your

call WCPE at 919.556.0123 on the morning of the request program. And don’t forget
our weekly feature, the Saturday Evening
Request Program, beginning at 6:00 p.m.
Bastille Day
July 14
Works by Rameau, Bizet, Berlioz, Debussy,
Ravel, and more…a celebration of the
French contribution
to Great Classical Music.
WCPE’s 35th Anniversary
July 18
Simply put, lots of great music to celebrate
that day in 1978 when WCPE first went on
the air!
Cinema Classics Weekend
August 10–11
Classical selections that have been featured
in your favorite films, plus music written
especially for the silver screen. One
of our most popular theme
weekends, and one that will
bring back more than
a few memories.

preview of upcoming Classical events in the
Triangle and around the nation. We sample

Every week, WCPE showcases the best
works of contemporary composers on
Wavelengths, our Sunday evening program
of new music. We primarily draw upon
works written from 1950 to the present,
with a strong focus on the 21st century. But
from time to time we’ll reach farther back
into the 20th century to feature important
works that have helped pave the way for
today’s music.
Wavelengths depends upon financial support
from listeners. Please make your tax-deductible gift online at theclassicalstation.org.
Wavelengths brings you the musical voices
of our generation.
Sundays at 10:00 p.m. (Eastern)
Peaceful Reflections is a two-hour program
of choral and instrumental music chosen
to provide a relaxing end to your weekend.
Typically the program begins with a
soothing slow movement from a symphony
or concerto. Then comes a motet or mass
from the Renaissance. More often than not
you can hear an organ work at the end of the
show just before Sleepers Awake begins.

Eye on Education
Allow me to begin on a note of gratitude.
Your financial support for WCPE during
the Spring Membership Drive says that you
value Classical music in your life and understand its importance to our community. To
all WCPE Education Fund contributors:
thank you for helping WCPE promote
Classical music education opportunities in
North Carolina. It is humbling to look back
at what we have achieved, collectively, since
we began this effort in 2010. To date, nearly
$20,000 has been invested in Classical music
education!
The WCPE Education Fund consists of
monies raised by donors who have elected to
reserve ten percent of a donation to WCPE
Radio for educational outreach within the
community. For more information, please
visit wcpe.org/education. q
“Thank you WCPE for helping me make
my mom proud of me.”—Tahir, age 7,
plays percussion through KidzNotes in
Durham, NC.
“I took my first piano lesson at age 6, my
first cello lesson at age 10, and my first
horn lesson at age 41.…My membership
in the Raleigh Concert Band affords me
another opportunity to learn and play in
a community organization.…As a longtime member of WCPE, I’d like to thank
The Classical Station and its education
fund for its grant to the [Raleigh Concert]
Band, and for sharing its enthusiasm
for and commitment to Great Classical
Music.”—Barb Prillaman, Raleigh Concert
Band.
“[I]t’s really cool to actually know [the
composer’s] thought process when
he is listening to this piece of music,
exactly how he wants it to go.”—Sarah,
freshman, Triangle Youth Orchestra,
Philharmonic Association.

This spring, the WCPE Education Fund
has supported the Durham Symphony
Orchestra’s Classical music concerts with
a gift of $1,500. With the development of
Classical music appreciation in mind, music
director William Henry Curry includes
at least one American composer on every
concert program (something that has rarely
been done in the history of any orchestra!),
in addition to popular pieces and familiar
favorites. The orchestra presents special family concerts of Classical music, often including performance elements (e.g., an African
American dance ensemble) and instrument “petting zoo.” We hope the Durham
Symphony will continue its engaging
programming that is as diverse as Durham’s
population…and, above all, keep Classical
music accessible to all!

The Real Toscanini:
Musicians Reveal the
Maestro
By Cesare Civetta
Amadeus Press; 226 pages
A review by R. C. Speck
When conductor Cesare Civetta began to
feel that the legacy of Italian conductor
Arturo Toscanini was being unfairly tarnished, he decided to do something about
it. The result is The Real Toscanini: Musicians
Reveal the Maestro, a collection of interviews
with musicians, conductors, and composers
who were lucky enough to work with the
maestro.
The chapters of this revealing biography
focus on aspects of Toscanini’s personality and conducting style. Inner Power and
Charisma, Baton Technique, Rehearsal Style,
and Philosophy are a few examples and
include anecdotes and recollections which
paint a complete picture of the great man.
An entire chapter discusses Toscanini’s passionate opposition to Mussolini and Hitler.
Included are stories of how he was beaten
up by fascist thugs as well as how he helped
found the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
Civetta reveals how Toscanini inspired
tremendous dedication and discipline among
his musicians. They describe his hypnotism,
his magnetism. One musician remembered how he would rehearse an extra hour
each day whenever working for Toscanini.
Musicians had a kind of rapture for
Toscanini, parts fear, awe, and love, which
brought them to heights they couldn’t have
reached otherwise. Once, when Toscanini
replaced Eugene Ormandy as a guest conductor, Ormandy came to listen. Ormandy
then asked, “Is that my orchestra?…If they
can play like that for him, why can’t they
play like that for me?”
Toscanini’s vast genius and rigorous pursuit
of perfection populates both text and subtext
26
on every page of Civetta’s book. According
to the musicians, Toscanini studied more
than any other conductor. Even if it was a
score he had conducted dozens of times, he
would still pore over it till the wee hours
before rehearsal, often finding tidbits of tempo or instrumentation that he theretofore
had missed. Still, he would always conduct
from memory. If the bassoon was hitting a B
when the score called for B-flat, the maestro
would spot it immediately.
Toscanini loved the music of Wagner. But
when invited to conduct Wagner in Bayreuth
in 1930, the German musicians were skeptical of the foreigner. This abruptly ended
when Toscanini discovered several errors in
the orchestra parts that had gone unnoticed
by German conductors for decades.
Nothing was ever good enough for Arturo
Toscanini. So deep was his understanding of
music that he could find flaws in any performance. This inspired the love and wonder
that the subjects in Civetta’s book still had
for him years after his death in 1957. Once
when hearing Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony
over the radio, Toscanini viciously criticized
the performance. He paced back and forth.
He denounced the tempo and balance.
Imagine his surprise when afterwards the
announcer said that they had just listened
to the BBC Symphony conducted by…who
else?…Arturo Toscanini. q

A review of Sound the
Trumpet
By Paul Jordan
Award-winning trumpeter Alison Balsom’s
new CD, Sound the Trumpet, is both a
celebration of the golden age of her instrument and an exploration of the possibilities
offered by the valveless, “natural” trumpet of
the Baroque era. This CD has been featured
several times on Preview, our program
highlighting new releases, which airs Sunday
nights at 6:00 p.m. ET.
The Baroque was truly the golden age
of the trumpet. It was the instrument of
coronations, holidays, and royal weddings.
Trumpeters of that time were the highly
paid superstars of the music world, sitting
on elevated platforms at the very center
of festivities. But for Alison Balsom, this
extremely challenging instrument serves as a
time machine to a world where “Everything
seems to be clearly structured—yet everything is full of freedom and emotion and
bursting with beauty,” she explains.
Balsom has a string of successful CDs to her
credit, but this one is clearly a labor of love,
a passion realized. One of the first trumpet recordings which she heard as a child
was a Baroque album conducted by Trevor
Pinnock. On Sound the Trumpet, Balsom
joins forces with Pinnock and the ensemble
he created, The English Concert, to present the versatility and astounding expressive
power of the Baroque trumpet.
Balsom and Pinnock have chosen just two
composers as the focus of this recording:
George Frideric Handel and Henry Purcell.
Balsom describes Handel as “the perfectionist of form, creator of the Water Music—and
the master of ceremonies for George II.” An
arrangement of Handel’s Water Music is a
featured work on the CD.
But for Alison Balsom, Henry Purcell is “my
true hero,” who, she explains, “repeatedly
breaks out of familiar Baroque structures,
surprises us with absurd rhythms and daring
harmonies. His pieces are highly modern
and profoundly disconcerting.” Included on
the disk is a suite from Purcell’s The Fairy
Queen, arranged by Pinnock and Balsom.
But for her, the high point of the recording
is the duet “Sound the Trumpet.” In this
arrangement, which includes countertenor
Iestyn Davies, the golden instrument and the
golden voice of the Baroque meet.
Sound the Trumpet is without doubt one of
the finest period instrument recordings I’ve
experienced. The sound is virtuosic, yet full
of emotion. You will be both surprised and
delighted. q

The Ciompi Quartet
Presents
By David Ballantyne
The Ciompi Quartet, named after its founder, Italian violinist Giorgio Ciompi, has been
resident at the Duke University Department
of Music since 1965. All of the members
are professors at Duke and are distinguished
soloists in their own right. The quartet not
only serve the students and faculty of Duke
both as musicians and teachers but also bring
their musical skills to the wider community.
As academics, they are well acquainted with
the fine details of period composition and
performance, but it is clear from the many
glowing reviews of their live performances
that they bring more to the concert stage
than just historical knowledge. Their musicianship, both as individuals and as ensemble
players, has been highly praised.
Was there any conflict, I wondered, between
being outstanding soloists and working
together as a quartet? Violist Jonathan Bagg
assured me, “We all have strong personalities,
but we work well together. Usually, whoever
28
is playing the main part determines our interpretation of the piece.”
This summer, under the collective name
Ciompi Quartet Presents, three of the individual members will present a series of concerts,
each with its own individual flavor. (Chineseborn violinist Hsiao-mei Ku will not present
a concert, as she will have teaching commitments in her native China this summer.
She teaches at both Duke University and
Guangzhou Xinghai Conservatory.)
WCPE’s Tara Lynn will talk to each of the
presenters before their concerts, and the interviews will be aired on WCPE’s Preview program. All interviews with the Ciompi Quartet
will be archived on the WCPE web site at
theclassicalstation.org/features_preview.shtml.
The first concert in the series, on May 28,
will be presented by violinist Eric Pritchard,
who will feature J. S. Bach’s Musical Offering
(Musikalisches Opfer), BWV 1079. Tara’s interview with Eric Pritchard will air on May 19.
On July 2, violist Jonathan Bagg will present A
Summer Serenade: Music in a Lighter Vein from
Italy to Argentina, featuring music by Paganini,
Piazzolla, and others. His guests will be Oren
Fader on guitar, Elizabeth Anderson on cello,
and Laura Gilbert on flute. You can hear
Tara Lynn’s interview with Jonathan Bagg on
Preview on June 23.
On August 13, cellist Fred Raimi is going for
an evening of piano quartet music featuring
his wife, pianist Jane Hawkins Raimi, and
other guests. They will perform something old
and something new: Brahms’s Piano Quartet
Maestro Returns to the Met
By Bob Chapman
Longtime Metropolitan Opera music director
James Levine turns 70 this year. His birthday
present: return to the company he’s led for
four decades.
A fall in the summer of 2011 caused severe
damage to his spine and forced Levine to take
a leave of absence while he recovered. Levine
is scheduled to lead a revival of Mozart’s Così
Fan Tutte, starting on September 24; a new
production of Verdi’s Falstaff, starting on
December 6; and a revival of Berg’s Wozzeck,
starting March 6, 2014.
The first child of Helen and Lawrence
Levine, James Lawrence Levine was born in
Cincinnati on June 23, 1943. Levine showed
his love of music very early. Taken to performances at the Cincinnati Opera as a child, he
often brought along one of his grandmother’s
knitting needles so that he could “conduct.”
Levine began piano lessons when he was four;
he made his professional debut at 10, playing
Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto no. 1 with the
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
In the summer of 1956, Rudolf Serkin invited
the 13-year-old wunderkind to spend the
summer at the Marlboro Music Festival in
Vermont, where he played chamber music
and made his first appearance as a conductor, leading choruses from Così Fan Tutte.
While still in high school, Levine spent most
weekends commuting to New York to study
with the legendary Juilliard piano teacher
Rosina Lhévinne. With Madame Lhévinne
he spent thirteen consecutive summers at the
Aspen Music Festival in Colorado, where he
conducted his first opera, Bizet’s Pearl Fishers.
in G Minor, opus 25, and Paul Schoenfield’s
Carolina Revelry from 2001. Tara Lynn’s
Preview interview will air on August 4.
All of the concerts will take place at 7:30 p.m.
in Kirby Horton Hall at the Sarah P. Duke
Gardens. Join WCPE and the Ciompi Quartet
for some fine music making this summer here
in the heart of North Carolina! q
After high school, Levine moved permanently
to New York, where he continued piano
lessons with Lhévinne and studied conducting with Jean Morel. During his third year,
Cleveland Orchestra conductor George Szell
offered Levine the post of assistant conductor.
In 1964, Levine dropped out of Juilliard and
moved to Cleveland, where he remained until
1970. As a parting gift, Szell recommended
Levine to Kurt Herbert Adler, who invited the
young maestro to conduct Puccini’s Tosca at
the San Francisco Opera.
Levine made his Met debut in 1971, conducting Tosca at the tender age of 28. Appointed
principal conductor two years later, he
became music director in 1976. He became
the company’s first artistic director in 1986,
relinquishing that title in 2004. Since 1975,
Levine has been instrumental in planning
and casting the repertoire for each season.
Through May of 2011, he had conducted a
record 2,442 Met performances.
A guest conductor with many of the world’s
leading orchestras, Levine has served as music
director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s
Ravinia Festival (1973–1993),
the Munich Philharmonic
(1999–2004), and the
Boston Symphony Orchestra
(2004–2011). On the June
6th Opera House, James Levine
will conduct Tchaikovsky’s
Eugene Onegin. q

What You’re Saying
I just heard the Cambridge Singers with the
John Rutter piece, “To Every Thing There is
a Season.” I was introduced to John Rutter’s
music by WCPE. A great big thank you
for adding such beautiful music to my life.
(Linda)
Love listening to you guys all day long, especially enjoy David in the morning and the
Classical Conundrum! Listening to you out
on the road. (Clarke in Rocky Mount)
Thanks so much, WCPE, for helping get
me through that long drive home from class
by playing that absolutely incredible and
energetic performance of Dvořák’s Wind
Serenade in D! (Kimberly)
Our Classical station signed off the air, and
unfortunately there has not been a replacement. Luckily, I ran across your station on
an Internet search, and now tune in most
workdays via the Internet audio stream.…As
a health care writer/editor, it makes my job
just a bit easier…Thanks for the great music!
(Tim from Milwaukee)
If it’s even possible to have a single favorite
piece of Classical music, I know what mine
is, and it’s on your playlist today for 12:23
p.m. I’d better be sure to be back at my desk
from lunch. I’ve been listening at work since
2004. (Lynne)
I have never studied but have always
enjoyed music. I grew up in Soviet
Russia and throughout my childhood
was exposed to a great amount of
beautiful works written by Russian
composers, Tchaikovsky, Borodin,
Rimsky-Korsakov, etc. However, I
have not listened much to Classical
music throughout my twenties. My
true interest in Classical music came
about in the last years of my graduate
school. I always had radio on while I
studied, but as my school got harder I
had to continually change the station
to avoid the commercials. At the
end of the night I would always end
up listening to WCPE. Gradually the
amount of time I had WCPE on increased, and now it is the first thing I turn
on after I wake up and the last thing I turn off before I go to bed. My husband
Vincent enjoyed listening to Classical music but would grumble at times about
it “always being on.” Happily, he came around and now has WCPE on in his car
during his daily commute to work. We feel truly blessed to have WCPE in our
home. What a source of beauty, tranquility, and comfort! We are really thrilled
to be a part of such a vast family and feel privileged to be able to support this
incredible effort.—Anjela and Vincent Govan
