Bonjour, Paris
07/14/11 8:00AM
It is Bastille Day, and that's not the only focus. We'll also enjoy
summery selections by Gershwin, and Gotthard Odermatt (who??) - Gotthard
Odermatt, a Swiss composer who's dedicated a new work called "Summer"
to oboist Albrecht Mayer. It's on Mayer's recent recording, "Bonjour
Paris".
