And the Award Goes to... - Put on your designer gown or tux and roll out the red carpet-this week on Harmonia, we're celebrating some major awards, early music style! From production and audio engineering to singing and instrumental performance, the Junos in Canada, and the Grammys in the US showcase some of the best recordings commercially released in North America. Plus, our featured CD is Josquin 'Baisiez moy'.
It's the annual Sunday Baroque Bach Birthday Bash! We celebrate Johann Sebastian Bach's prolific genius with two all-Bach programs that illustrate his accomplishments as a composer.
Donato Cabrera leads the California Symphony in a program of dances and melodies. Kodály's Dances of Galánta begins the concert, contrasted with Anna Clyne's DANCE for Cello and Orchestra, featuring cellist Inbal Segev as soloist. Clyne wrote DANCE with Inbal in mind, so expect an exceptionally poignant performance! Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk's emotional and tragic Melody begins the second half, developing into Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 2, which uses Ukrainian folk songs to great effect.
