( OT: Please note that there is at least one mistake in this article. The first CD was introduced in October 1982 and not 1978 as the article claims. What’s it with journalistic standards these days ? Does Research equal Copy/Paste nowdays ? And that with the NYT ! )

  Dear all

  For those of you who can speak or understand german (don’t look at me, it’s my second lingo) there will be a feature about him on Switzerland’s public broadcasting radio station DRS 2 (mainly classical music, arts, Jazz, ecclectic stuff like theatre, Janacek Operas and roundtable debates on the late Debussy) next week. 

  Details are here:

  The title is apparently a pune ore play on words with Goldberg (golden mountain).

  The program will be broadcast on the 9th between 4 and 5 pm. You can either listen live, but there is a possiblilty that the program will later be available as a download. It better be, decent people work at that time ! 

  I am still a bit puzzled at the non-impact that GG’s birthday had on mainstream media (outside Canada). Either GG has lost the importance he once had or something else went horribly wrong....
