Quite the assortment today, everything from a musical setting of the 1897 Sears and Roebuck cataloque to Camille Saint-Saens' etudes for left-handed piano.
Keeping warm while we "chill" in the Underworld with examples from Gounod's "Faust" and Gluck's "Orpheus and Eurydice." We'll also hear some beautiful chamber music by New England native Geroge Chadwick.
Krystian Zimerman with a recording of Liszt's B Minor sonata that absolutely rips (this is a good thing...!), plus a modern work by Arvo Part, and Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony.
Got off to a late start today, but still lots of great music, including the Emerson Quartet's magnificent recordings of Samuel Barbers String Quartet, Opus 11.
A beautiful recording of Beethoven's third piano concerto, and Richard Strauss's rarely-heard Alpine Symphony.
