Haas: Maestro Of The Radio

Karl Haas’s syndicated program, “Adventures in Good Music,” for many years attracted the largest audience of any classical music radio program in the world and was carried by hundreds of stations in the United States, Canada, Australia, Mexico and Panama and on Armed Forces Radio. “Karl Haas had the unique knack of being able to convey his love and knowledge of classical music to an audience that, for the most part, wasn’t all that familiar with it. But instead of bringing the music down to them, he brought them up to the music. He was like Leonard Bernstein in that respect.”
