Classical A-Go-Go

« previous episode | next episode »

Friday, October 24, 2008

The Boston Globe calls eclectic (and somewhat eccentric) composer/pianist Erik Lindgren "a model of musical schizophrenia." We sample some colorful tracks from his 2006 album Classical A-Go-Go, featuring acoustic ensemble The Frankenstein Consort.

Subtitled "Invigorating musical novelties for woodwinds, piano, and percussion," the album also features Lindgren's first serious work from his early years (which informs the title at large), "Baroque-A-Go-Go."

Tonight's playlist also features:

Georgs Pelecis / "Concertino bianco" in C
Edward K. (Duke) Ellington / Black, Brown, and Beige Suite
George Gershwin / An American in Paris
Johann Sebastian Bach / Gamba Sonata No. 1 in G, BWV 1027
George Crumb / Ancient Voices of Children
