We carried the program on WGBH in Boston. Hass had a clever distinct way of presenting. I loved it with his "Hello everyone". Recently a guy who I intensely dislike call Bill McClaughlan has a copycat program he calls "Exploring Music" This guy is no Karl Haas. I am sure he knew Hass and is copying the format. Sadly radio has gone down the drain in the past 20 years. It started a decline in the 80s when they phased out vinyl recordings in favor of compact discs. I quit radio at that point.

This is such an enlightening interview. Rubinstein was so intelligent and HUMAN. He understood life.

I adore this man. Long time fan. I stlll hum his theme music, Beethoven's "Pathétique." Thank you for bringing him back to me. ❤❤

Omgosh 😢😢😢 my mother played his shows all the time. So sad I can’t find more of his shows. ❤❤❤ his voice is so distinctive and she really introduced me to classical music through this show :)

Anyone know how to crowd fund? Somehow those Adventures In GOOD Music must be shared with generations to come! RICK BIATO! HELP US UNITE!!

Thank you!

Not only is he missed, he is missing.

Are the Adventures in Good Music radio show recordings available on CD for sale?

Amazing

Haas claims that Rubinstein was "actually" born in 1885. Harvey Sachs' biography does not support this, names the usual year of 1887.

Ah, this voice takes me back to my 20s, in the Navy. Karl Hass and his wonderful show was my connection to culture and a more graceful way of life. Thank you so much for sharing this show on KZfaq!

Hello everyone! Was fortunate to have seen him in person. A true humanitarian.

Amazing to learn Haas recorded that piano opening segment live for every episode! it wasnt just recorded to play the same recording for each show as is typical!

I loved listening to his syndicated show on KXTR. I always looked forward to his cheery approach to a piece of classical work.

The episode of Haas' program that first pops into my head whenever I run across his program was when he discussed the melody children 5-10 years of age use to sing "nah, nah, na nah, nah".

So wonderful to find this out of print recording - and to hear Haas' voice. I discovered him in college during my evening shift job doing data entry in the early 80s. Punch cards! Anyway I liked classical and would put on one of the stations and discovered this gem of a show. I became addcited to the knowledge and insights he offered. Before the internet and google there was no way to have this education or understanding other than shows like this. Fleeting moments of wonder across the airwaves.

My Father used to listen to his program on the radio at noon, weekdays. He played viola in the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra for 35 years.

"Hello Everyone!" Man, I really miss this guy. I remember learning new words such as proclivity.

Hello everyone! I miss Karl Haas.

I found Karl Haas as a junior in College at Ohio Wesleyan on WOSU from '84 to '86. I would listen to his shows as background music while I did homework. Gradually I came to appreciate Karl's body of work as he made classical music accessible and interesting. So glad to have found him preserved here on YT.

I want to hear this program again. There is nothing as good as this out there today. Any way to find it?

Where's the chess?

Just a fan

I spent many an evening during the 80's listening and learning from this remarkable man.

I miss Karl’s show. What a beautiful soul. I believe the reason these aren’t available in mass is due to Copyright Rights on the recordings. Really a shame. Such enlightenment for the masses that is going unused.

Truly a joy to listen. Authentic and a clear analysis of the music. Would that we had all his gems available. We need this these days.

How wonderful to hear Karl Haas again...... and particularly this frank discussion with maestro Rubinstein. Thank you so much. Miss Jenny.

Listened to the program in 1994, and I never forgot it.

Hearing that voice again made me smile. Thank you RB for posting. I too miss him.

I just started working for IBM in 78. Moved from small one light town to big city. Was a regular hayseed, knew hardly nothing of classical music, or of the masters. As I drove in my territory, I listen to this show every day, and came to love the show, and classical music. I am forever indebted to Mr. Hass, for teaching me, and giving me a life long appreciation for this wonderful, ever fascinating music.

I used to listen to him every night at 10 pm when I was in high school. Stereo 90 in Jax, FL

Adventures in Good Music” with Karl Haas!!! I wish I had every program!

I listened to Mr. Haas on WQXR in NYC in the 80ths. I have his book Inside Music. I wish his programs would be for sale. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

I listened to Karl Haas for many years. 'Enjoyed his persona and learned an enormous amount from him. What a treat it was!

I listened to Karl Hass for years on WOSU-FM. I left Columbus in 1980 and was never as good at listening to his show after that. I never knew he'd done a show in Columbus until I stumbled across this recording today. He was so engaging to listen to and taught us so much.

Thank you for this. If I ever win the lottery, paying off Karl Haas family to release his works will be the first thing I do.

I would like very much to know the name of the theme song.

Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful interview with us. Yet, I don't agree with your premise stated 30:30 that only an artist of Rubinstein's stature can live by this creed. In fact we ALL do and MUST - even when we decide which shoes we are to wear, today. Rubinstein's dedication, knowledge, passion, temperament and, well, talent (all the other things) allowed him great success in this in sharing this with us. And, yes, we are very thankful.

I think that every effort is a (very possibly) last chance at fathoming, appreciating and then offering a work; this regardless of ones' age. After a good concert I feel like it's a good time to die - after a bad one, too.

"I love life as it comes - as it is - absolutely unconditionally." 14:16

I really miss this program! :(

Great questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN

俺、これのFugaの美味しいとこだけ 弾きたい🎹

Thank you, RB Prior, for sharing this ... a truly epic, symphonic interpretation of Liszt's greatest piano work. Every note sings, and every nuance and rubato is motivated by the musical content and form. His octave work surpasses even Horowitz' at times, yet he makes it sound so easy. Howard Karp was a true giant of the piano!

This is miraculous play...

This is just unequalled.... Where was this recorded??? I'll never forget Behzod's recital in Concertgebouw Amsterdam in 2017!

Another afterthought, I also own and have listened to her recording of the Paderewski concerto. I don't suppose we would be lucky enough to persuade you to upload the other tracks from this and the 1974 recording (other than the sonata)?
