Grab a second cup of coffee and join me, if you haven’t already. It’s a morning of spooky classics, as we look ahead to Hallowe’en.
Among our tricks and treats will be recordings of Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee, revered for their onscreen personifications of classic movie monsters. Karloff will narrate Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf” – you need to tune in if only to hear how he relishes his final line, giving it a delightfully macabre spin – and Lee will prove himself a quick-change artist in his portrayal of all the characters (including the Princess!) in Igor Stravinsky’s take on the Faust legend, “The Soldier’s Tale.”
It’s a steady diet of jack o’lanterns and candy corn until 11:00 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com.
