After finishing the WFMT Radio Network series Song of America with Thomas Hampson last October, I’ve had the privilege of producing our second series of concerts from the Salzburg Festival. WFMT began airing these two-hour programs in early February (other stations around the country began in January and still more will program them throughout 2012). These 10 program hold a fascinating variety of orchestral performances – one with the Vienna Philharmonic and two with the AMAZING Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra – as well chamber music, a solo recital by Yo-Yo Ma, and a recital of songs by Kurt Weill sung by the wonderful Angela Denoke. There’s even Verdi’s opera Macbeth, conducted by our own Riccardo Muti. I’ll have more in future posts, but I encourage you to listen to 98.7 or WFMT.com on most Sundays between 4-6 PM. Good stuff!
