Classical Pop ET Cetera is 50: an anniversary full of musical memories
A look at 50 years of "classic pop-et cetera": a medium that bridges
In October 2024, the popular radio show "Classical Pop ET Cetera" celebrates its 50th anniversary. This anniversary is not only a celebration of the program itself, but also a symbol of the merger of a wide variety of music styles and cultures that has enriched the German radiol landscape.
With a loyal audience of around half a million people who get in the mood for the show every Saturday at 10:05 a.m., it turns out that music connects many people. The mixture of classical music, jazz and pop, which was launched in 1974 under the concept of the then revolutionary editor Wolfgang Werth, is still up to date.
The first episode was sent on October 7, 1974, and Hamburg music journalist Werner Burkhardt moderated them with an invitation to the listeners to discover new dimensions of music. The concept of combining "e-and U-music" (erotic and simple music) in a show was quite provocative at the time. However, this unorthodox approach has proven to be extremely successful and reflects the progressive change of the musical taste of society.
A central aspect of the show is the opportunity for prominent artists to share their personal music selection and life stories. From T. C. Boyle to Hildegard Knef, this unique platform offers guests the freedom to express themselves and present their preferences in a protected framework. It is not only a challenge to stand alone in front of the microphone, but also a way to gain deeper insights into the personal meaning of music. In the past 50 years, thousands of stories have gathered that represent a valuable cultural treasure.
The characteristic characteristic melody of the program, which was added in 1980, is particularly remarkable. Composed by Horst Jankowski, this three -minute piece has established itself as a recognition melody that accompanies the listeners on every shipment. This melody shows that even the best ideas can never get out of fashion and adapt to the time.The anniversary is celebrated with a great show in Cologne, where the actor Wotan Wilke Möhring appears as a guest moderator. On October 4, the almost 2600th edition of the shipment will be broadcast live. This illustrates the sustainable relevance of "Classical Pop ET Cetera": a program that has not only been maintaining for half a century, but also stimulates thinking and inspired with its diversity.
summarized can be said that "Classic Pop ET Cetera" is far more than a simple radio show. It is a platform for integration, cultural exchange and creative expression and reflects the diversity and the constantly developing music culture. The legacy of this program will remain in the coming years and hopefully inspire many other generations.
