Collectors' Corner
Sunday, 6 to 8 pm on HD-2 and the Classical Stream

Collectors’ Corner is about discovering and rediscovering classical music that rocked the world in days gone by. Host Henry Fogel crafts an historical narrative out of his personal record collection, a treasury amassed from decades of jaunts to record stores and resale shops across the globe.

The show "features a wide range of recordings that I feel are true classics of the industry…either unusual repertoire that I feel deserve a wider public, or performances unique in their interpretive profile, sense of commitment, and intensity. Many of these recordings are long out-of-print, or hard to locate in the United States.” - Henry Fogel

Henry is dean and distinguished professor of the arts at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts. He was president and CEO of the League of American Orchestras from 2003-2008. Between 1985 and 2003, he served as president and CEO of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and from 1981-1985, Henry was executive director of the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C.? Radio has always been a passion for Henry Fogel; from 1963 to 1978 he was vice president and program director of radio station WONO in Syracuse, New York.?

Collectors' Corner replaces SymphonyCast.
