Mac'nClassicalCheese - Mar 28, 2024
Hey everyone, this episode is a sort of 'hats off' to my local classical station back home in Indiana. The station is WICR 88.7 the diamond. Woo! I went and checked out their track lists from last weekend and came across some composers I hadn't heard of (Moszkowski and Reinecke), and some pieces I didn't know. I checked out the 2 composers and we have a piece from each of them today. The Piano quintet is new to me and it's so fun! If anyone can tell me who is objectively a favored composer between Schumann and Schubert please let me know because apparently it's obvious. I would guess Schumann but I also like Schubert so idk. And the rest of the show is a piano trio by Mendelssohn performed by 3 mediocre players...I kid. It's Yo-Yo Ma, Emanuel Ax, and Itzhak Perlman.
