There are times when curiosity drives us to have our crew lash us to the mast and then stuff their ears with wax. Tomorrow morning on WPRB may very well be one of those, as we follow in the steps of Odysseus, both at the Trojan War and on his long journey back to Ithaca.
We’ll have music inspired by Circe, the Cyclops, the Golden Apple, Helen of Troy, the Lotus Eaters, the Sirens, Ulysses’ bow, and the rescue of Penelope, from composers such as Hector Berlioz, Ernst Boehe, Benjamin Britten, Max Bruch, Gabriel Fauré, John Harbison, and Jerome Moross.
I’ll be tied up from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. We’ll find the odd in “The Odyssey” (and “The Iliad,” for that matter), on Classic Ross Amico.
