Monday Night at the Symphony

If you enjoy music played by one of the best orchestras in the world, tune in this coming Monday at 8 for Monday Night at the Symphony. Hear 2 hours of the Berlin Philharmonic, one of the truly great orchestras of all time, and they’ve been doing that since 1882. On 89.7 FM or audio-streamed at theclassicalstation.org. I hope you’ll be there.

— Dave Bryant

February WCPE CD of the Month at Quail Ridge Books & Music

Something Almost Being Said: Music of Bach & Schubert by Simone Dinnerstein



 







"Simone Dinnerstein's approach to Bach and Schubert on this latest CD make these pieces come alive as if they were written yesterday. She has the potential to be a Glenn Gould for the 21st century." — Paul Jordan, host of "Preview!"
