** NETHERLANDS [non]. Sat Feb 24 at 1501, RN was putting in a good signal via Madagascar, on 12080, opening a program about an artist. Sounded quite interesting, but did not have time to listen for a semihour, so made a note to catch it ondemand later. But what show was it? Checking the weekly programme preview newsletter for Feb 23, nothing about it! I had to go back to the previous week`s newsletter to find it listed under Thursday Feb 22:
``*** Dutch Horizons *** More than thirty years after his death, the work of Dutch graphic artist MC Escher remains popular all around the world. His woodprints and lithographs possess a unique quality that makes them instantly recognisable. Where did he get the inspiration for his powerful black and white landscapes, clever abstracts and mind-boggling metamorphoses? Join Bertine Krol for a special edition of Dutch Horizons about MC Escher and find out. Broadcast times on SW (UTC): 1027 (Asia/Far East/Pacific), 1227 (Eastern N America), 1430 (South Asia), 1827 & 2000 (Africa), 0027 (Eastern N America), 0127 (Central N America), 0527 (Western N America) Repeated: Wed 1500 (South Asia), Wed 1900 (Africa)`` Which DOES NOT mention this Saturday 1500 repeat! Wish RN would get its act together on this. So I go to http://www.rnw.nl and figure it must be under the Culture and History heading: http://www.radionetherlands.nl/features/cultureandhistory/ No, not there! So I search on Escher, and see that the same show was originally classified as a Documentary in June 2005, but now it`s Dutch Horizons. Was hoping for some visuals to accompany, as, let`s face it, radio about the visual arts cannot be left solely to the imagination; and there are some on this page along with audio linx: http://www.radionetherlands.nl/radioprogrammes/dutchhorizons/060405dh And a rather long article, a partial transcript? Plus the inevitable bloggy comments by (only) a triad of listeners (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
