Farrenc, Mahler, La Folia
03/30/12 9:00AM By Walter Parker
We'll listen to the Nonet of Louise Farrenc, which struck a blow for equal pay for women at the Paris Conservatory.
Also today, the completed Adagio from Mahler's unfinished Symphony No. 10; and two sets of variations on La Folia: one from the East Coast Chamber Orchestra's new recording and one by Rachmaninoff.
