#ClassicsaDay #WomensHistoryMonth Week 4, 2023
March is Women’s History Month. And for Classics a Day, it’s another opportunity to focus on classical music composed by women. And not just composers in the 21st Century.

Rued Langgaard Symphony No. 1 — Epic
The Berlin Philharmonic delivers an exceptional performance directed by Sakari Oramo.
Grazyna Bacewicz: Music for Strings a Must-have
The Primus Chamber Orchestra directed by Lukasz Blaszczyk turn in some tremendous performances. This is music they care about. And that dedication comes through in the recordings.

#ClassicsaDay #WomensHistoryMonth Week 3, 2023

Baroque Pop Breakfast
Jay Jackson and Ralph Graves are your hosts, both uniquely qualified to present this music to you. They not only know classical music, but they lived through the Baroque Pop era!
Danny Elfman and Adolphus Hailstork — an Ideal Pairing
The Buffalo Symphony Orchestra, directed by JoAnne Falletta, tun in some super performances. That is to say, performances are on par with their other recordings from Naxos.
