Someone needs to inform the directors of WQXR that it is Easter! We are presently in the Octave of Easter en route to the Ascension and Pentecost, and the classical station of the metropolitan area is apparently unaware. As far as I can tell there was no scheduled programming for music on the radio to commemorate the Sacred Triduum for which some of the greatest music has been created over the centuries by the greatest composers and with countless historic performances.
It is unconscionable that classical public radio for the metropolitan area, which is composed largely of Christian believers, should neglect to air these all time musical treasures during the feasts for which they were created! Besides, there are many non-Christians who appreciate the great artistic quality of those works and love to hear them, even during these most sacred days!
It seems that the Anti-Christian conspiracy noted in today's Gospel reading (Mathew 28:8-15) continues with our public radio station.
At WQXR 105.9 FM Good Friday 2011 was replaced by "earth day"! whatever that is. Holy Saturday was replaced by the celebration of "Shakespeare's birthday", the date of which is uncertain. And Easter Sunday was simply apparently ignored. No "Happy Easter" from anyone on staff at classical radio. And the greatest records of all time are simply collecting dust in their studios under the present bigoted leadership (or, at the very least, negligently and culpably ignorant).
