Sometimes I Don’t Just Phone It In

My station’s program director forwarded me this message from a listener tonight:

Dana Hill,

This afternoon’s program was one of the most
delightful I’ve heard in some time. You always do a fine job.
Thank you,

G.F.

It’s nice to receive compliments.

For the record, I played the Symphonic Dances, Op. 45 by Rachmaninoff; Drei Klavierstücke, D. 946 by Schubert; Symphony No. 21 in A Major by Haydn; the String Quartet, Op. 32, No. 2 by Boccherini; the Romanian Rhapsody No. 2, Op. 11 by Enescu; Le Tombeau de Couperin by Ravel; and the Hungarian Rhapsody No 8 by Liszt, performed by Alfred Brendel, whose December 2008 retirement has just been announced. None of these works are personal favorites of mine.
