Seasons Such As These

Remember the storm scene in King Lear? ("That way madness lies…") In it, the King sends out a prayer for all of those exposed to the storm. This morning just in time for thunderstorm season we’ll feature a haunting choral setting of that scene by New York native David Chaitkin.Classical Music with Cheryl Willoughby

The Shostakovich 6th

The Shostakovich 6th String Quartet is a light-hearted, melodic work – making it stand apart in character and spirit from the other fourteen he wrote. We’ll listen to the 6th this morning, and talk about a new book that explores all of the Shostakovich Quartets.Classical Music with Cheryl Willoughby
Hats Off To Elgar!

A Sommelier’s Delight

Great wine isn’t the only world export from the Bordeaux region, so is the music written by French flutist Paul Taffanel. We’ll hear his Wind Quintet this morning: bubbly body, smooth performance, well-aged, pleasant earthy aftertaste. You won’t be disappointed.Classical Music with Cheryl Willoughby
