LISTED TIMES ARE GMT

A Word About Timings

All timings are listed in both Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern Daylight Time. North America and Europe are now on Daylight Time. For those of you who live in other time zones, you will need to make a calculation to derive the time of an event where you live. In North America subtract four (4) hours (from GMT) for the Eastern Time Zone, five (5) hours for the Central Time Zone, and six (6) hours for the Mountain Time Zone. Subtract seven (7) hours for the Pacific Time Zone and eight (8) hours for Alaska, and nine (9) hours for Hawaii. UK, Ireland and Portugal add one (1) hour to GMT. In most of the rest of Europe add two (2) hours (some Eastern European countries are three (3) hours ahead of GMT). In the Southern Hemisphere, Australia and New Zealand are on Standard Time (Australia is 10 hours ahead of GMT; New Zealand is 12 hours ahead of GMT).

For those in the United States, it is useful to keep in mind that broadcasts in the evening hours often appear in the NEXT day's listings because they occur in the small hours in GMT time, which is our primary reference in the following listings.
For more information on time zone calculations, double click the time display on the lower right of your screen (if you are using a PC) to display the Time Zone tab, then click on the drop-down menu for a full list of time zones and their relationships to Greenwich Mean Time. You may also let the TIME CONVERTER do the calculations for you.

Georg Friedrich Händel: "Alexander's Feast or The Power of Music" HWV 75 (aufgenommen am 30. Mai 2009 in der Stiftskirche Melk im Rahmen der "Internationalen Barocktage Stift Melk 2009"). Präsentation: Gerhard Hafner Zur prachtvollen Eröffnung seiner Oratoriensaison Anfang 1736 präsentierte Händel eine Komposition, die ihm wie kaum ein anderes seiner oratorischen Werke die Gelegenheit zur Darstellung seiner musikalischen Kunstfertigkeit bot: John Drydens 1696 veröffentlichte Ode "Alexander's Feast or the Power of Music" demonstriert die Macht der Musik am Beispiel des antiken Helden Alexander der Große. In dem von Newburg Hamilton am Ende ergänzten Text überhöht die heilige Cäcilia schließlich das antik-heidnische Geschehen, von Händel ausgedrückt in plastisch-kunstvoller Polyphonie.
