When Classical Discoveries’ Marvin Rosen bought a prized Richard Arnell disc out from under me at Princeton Record Exchange, who knew that it would lead to such a rewarding musical friendship. Marvin has since more than made up for that early indiscretion and not only showered me with his duplicates (including a few of the Richard Arnell symphonies), but he has volunteered to help me out at WPRB on more than one occasion. Tomorrow will be one of those.

I hope you’ll join us, as Marvin will be my copilot. We’ll be playing selections from an assortment of “thank you” gifts, personally selected by me, of music by Aaron Copland, Lou Harrison, Zoltán Kodály, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Steven Mackey, Miklós Rózsa, Florent Schmitt, and Marcel Tyberg. In addition, there will be more Reinhold Gliere than might comfortably be digested. Laugh along, as we confuse the telephone volunteers by offering music by both E.J. Moeran and Robert Moran.

It’s all part of the fun, as we attempt to raise funds, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. Get ready to pad out your CD collection, tomorrow morning between 6 and 11 ET, as we offer music from George Perle to Jerome Kern, on Classic Ross Amico.
