Complete Lost Chapman Radio Broadcasts Vols. I and II
Complete Lost Chapman Radio Broadcasts Vols. I and II
The selections on The Lost Chapman Radio Broadcasts in this three-CD set are from FM broadcasts produced by Keith Chapman at the John Wanamaker Store.
Chapman's career came to an untimely end in 1989 when he and his wife were killed in a private-plane accident in the Colorado Rockies. After their passing, the masters were not located and the material was presumed lost forever. However, two listeners with superior recording equipment captured several FM programs on tape.
The best of these programs, spotlighting Chapman's unique approach to the Wanamaker Organ and his talents as a popularizer of beautiful music, are presented here.
