It’s all about the bass!

Join me this afternoon as we celebrate the birthdays of dueling bass-baritones Thomas Quasthoff (who will sing Schubert) and Bryn Terfel (who will sing Gerald Finzi). We’ll also hear Finzi’s elegy for orchestra, “The Fall of the Leaf.”

In addition, we’ll remember American composer Burrill Phillips, a product of the Eastman School, who later taught there. Can music of his teacher, Howard Hanson, be far behind?

Plenty of solace and beauty to be found today, from 4 to 7:00 EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.
