Jim Svejda
Although Jim Svejda is one of the most respected, critical voices in
the classical music field, he also is one of the most entertaining and
popular program hosts on public radio. Since 1979, he has delighted
Classical KUSC listeners with his witty, meticulously crafted essays on
diverse composers, conductors and artists -- as well as his commentary
on a wide range of other subjects that attract his musical fancy.
He is the host and producer of the nationally syndicated radio series The Record Shelf,
which is carried by some 200 public radio stations. Locally, it's
broadcast Sunday evenings, from 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (repeating Sunday
mornings from 11AM - 12 noon.)
His weeknight evening
program may be heard on Classical KUSC from 7 PM to midnight, always
commencing with his signature opening, the third movement of Martinu's
Piano Quartet #1.
A noted film critic, his reviews are broadcast on the CBS Radio Network.
