Two beloved singers were born on this date. Join me this afternoon, as we hear recordings by soprano Kiri Te Kanawa and bass-baritone Norman Treigle. We’ll also have music by a Strauss – and a Straus – unrelated to the famous waltz dynasty. There will be orchestral and instrumental settings of several Scottish ballads, and Kirill Kondrashin will conduct Shostakovich. You can expect all this between 4 and 7 p.m. EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.
