And put in a request for him or her to be featured as Composer of the Week. Just follow this link:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radio3/posts/Composer-of-the-Week-at-70
Download the pdf of all the composers who have been featured, find a composer you think should be there, and send in your request.
And, of course, post on this thread who you requested, and why.
Donald Macleod (the programme's presenter) was interviewed on Radio 3 this afternoon, and he said that they're taking requests until Sept. 30th.
I didn't think Alfredo Casella had been featured, but apparently he has, so I'll be putting in a plug for Kalevi Aho instead.
The musical style or period doesn't matter all that much--the scope is very broad--but it would help if a substantial amount of the composer's music is available on CD or LP.
(They're also looking for early recordings of the programme, and if you have any, be sure to contact them).
So, then, who do you think is missing but should be there?
