Mac'nClassicalCheese - Jan 25, 2024
Welcome to Season 4 of Mac'nClassical Cheese!! Guess who wasn't on air the first few minutes of this show? That's right, me. Cuz I forgot everything in the last 3 weeks or however long its been since being in the studio. BUT WE PUSH ON. Today's show is the first ever chamber music show. Kinda crazy that this hasn't happened before. It's almost like it's the classical genre I listen to least...but it's not because I dislike it! I think I'm just a simp for impressionism and romanticism and most of the chamber I know is earlier music, so. There we have it. That being said, the point of this show was to play all the music I didn't hear on my classical station at home growing up, and to play all the stuff I found in high school and college that I wish I knew about. But maybe I should also play some of the stuff that originally got me into classical music. Food for thought. But now on to the music!
