Terrance offers up contrasting works featuring flutist James Galway, including Henry Mancini's raucous "Pie in the Face Polka." Then, cellist Misha Maisky takes over with three melodies from Maurice Ravel. The latter hour gives way to the titanic Beethoven, in a stout but lean recording from the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra of the "Eroica" Symphony.
