Vittorio Who?

Wednesday, 01/25/12 3pm

This afternoon, we'll sample a new recording done by musicians from the Manchester Music Festival featuring the Piano Quintet by Italian-American composer Vittorio Giannini. It's a fascinating and seldom-heard piece. Also today, we revisit the New Years concert in Vienna from a few weeks ago, and hear favorite works of Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
