Mon. - Fri. May 13 - 17 on Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin: "Richard Wagner - 'The greatest genius that ever lived' proclaimed WH Auden, while Rossini said that Wagner had 'beautiful moments but awful quarters of an hour.'

This week (and next) Bill celebrates Wagner's 200th birthday in grand style with programs filled to the brim with his music" at 7 p.m. on WICR - FM/HD 88.7 and 12 Noon on WICR - HD 2.
