Curiously Strong Winds

« previous episode | next episode »

Thursday, January 29, 2009

Winds as in instruments, that is. We hear the cleverly named (and progressively-slanted) ensemble Curiously Strong Winds perform Harold Shapero's "Six for Five," a series of dance-like settings originally written for members of his own extended family. Also, another group with an interesting name (the Lyric Quartet) performs an intermezzo by Zoltan Kodaly, and we sample chamber music by Manuel De Falla,, Sebastian Yradier, and Francis Poulenc.

Also featured Tonight:

Ravi Shankar / Concerto for Sitar and Orchestra No 2, "Raga-Mala"
Jean Sibelius / "Puhjola's Daughter"
Gyorgy Kurtag / Bach-Transkriptionen
Einojuhani Rautavaara / Piano Concerto No. 2
Esa-Pekka Salonen / Dichotomie
