Mozart's Attic Thursday July 6th at 10:00 PM

Vermont Public Radio

We've been exploring some of the less-well-known works of Antonin Dvorak and Edvard Grieg on Mozart's Attic recently: something akin to a summer reading project, looking at  a few of the other works by composers who are best known for just a couple of concert hall blockbusters.
 
This week, we'll hear one of those blockbusters, Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor, performed by one of the great Romantic interpreters of the 20th century, Artur Rubinstein.
 
Our cycle of the twelve Mendelssohn String Symphonies continues with the eleventh, and we'll listen to some Middle-Ages-inspired  music written just a few decades ago.
