****** I have a perpetual bone to pick with radio personnel who fail to "back announce" the track I just heard and loved. I want to buy that cd! But I don't who the singer was or the title of the disc. Grrrrrr.
****** When I was a dj (at WGBH-FM in Boston and WICN-FM in Worcester), I always back announced and often listed all sidemen as well, thus incurring the wrath of more than one Program Director. I did it anyway.
****** In my last post, I cited a superb rendition of Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise" sung by Anna Moffo (June 27, 1932 - March 9, 2006). She was an Italian-American lyric-coloratura soprano admired for her lush, radiant voice and great beauty. Her rendition of Vocalise is flawless, and my rave review might prompt you to seek it out. Therefore, I take this opportunity to "back announce" it: "Rachmaninoff Vocalise", RCA Number 09026-63669-2, features Ms. Moffo and Evgeny Kissin, James Galway, and Rachmaninoff himself coducting the piece played by The Philadelphia Orchestra, among others. Thirteen tracks in all. Go and get it.
