Immediately following today’s installment of “What Makes It Great,” it’s Richard Strauss’ “Ein Heldenleben” (“A Hero’s Life”), in an acclaimed recording that, to my knowledge, has never been played on this station, with Semyon Bychkov and the West German Radio Orchestra.

Coming up at 4:00 EDT, stay tuned for a special concert presented by Concordia Chamber Players. The broadcast will feature Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet in A major, K. 581, and Beethoven’s String Quintet in C major, Op. 29. Concordia’s next concert will take place this Sunday at Trinity Episcopal Church, Solebury, PA, (outside New Hope) at 3 p.m. The program will include works by E.J. Moeran, Bohuslav Martinu and Sir William Walton. Find out more at concordiaplayers.org.

I’ll be with you until 4 today. Keep listening to WWFM – The Classical Network, and pledge your support at wwfm.org. Thanks!
