Poor Bruckner

I guess Bruckner is just out of favor on the FM band now. KVOD in Denver, in all of 2006 through July 27th, has only broadcast 11 of his 150 or so compositions. KVOD broadcast his Symphony #4 and the String Quintet in F twice, but only once for the Symphonies #8 and #6 , the "Te Deum", Masses #2 and #3, Psalm 150, the Intermezzo, his "Ave Maria" and "Os justi".

Ravel, on the other hand, has had 32 of his 85 compositions broadcast in the same time period on KVOD, with 9 pieces broadcast more than 15 times. That's during nearly 5000 hours of time on the air.

Some other composers of note: Bach had roughly 267 compositions for 916 broadcasts, Mozart 306 for 1179 and Beethoven 153 for 295 broadcast. One of my favorites, Richard Wagner had 32 compositions broadcast 238 times. However, not one complete opera of hist was broadcast to-date in 2006. Wagner apparently was only a composer of excerpts.

I'm getting to the point that I only listen to KVOD while I'm driving in the car.
