Schlager for advanced players

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schlager for advanced students was the title of a didactic music revue that was broadcast on Ö3 until 1996 and most recently on Fridays at 10 p.m. on Ö1 and on Süddeutscher Rundfunk (SDR). The series had already started before the broadcasting reform in 1967; At that time the program was broadcast (Wednesdays?) from 10:15 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on the 2nd Austrian radio program, which later became Ö 1.

The signature ( jingle ), the Schübler chorale Wachet, calls to us the voice of Johann Sebastian Bach ( BWV 645), sung by the Swingle Singers , was programmatic. The moderator Gerhard Bronner designed thematic programs in which the most diverse styles could be heard: a cappella music, Leroy Anderson , PDQ Bach , Franz Xaver Frenzel , but only rarely Schlager .

Due to the sound through intensive study of the US musical scene and other sources such as French chanson, but certainly idiosyncratic view Bronner what should constitute good pop in his opinion (see web link) was below the critical radio audience the corruption of the program title "Beats for progressives ”widely used.
