Weinberger’s One-Hit Wonder Schwanda

Despite having composed over 100 works, Jaromir Weinberger remains a one-hit wonder. In 1927, his opera, “Schwanda the Bagpiper” became an international sensation. But beyond a couple of orchestral highlights – the polka and fugue – even that “one hit” isn’t terribly well known.

This Sunday night on “The Lost Chord,” learn more about this rollicking farce, involving a love triangle, a card game with the devil, and the beguiling power of the bagpipes.

There’s still plenty of bounce in this Czech. That’s “Czech in the Balance,” this Sunday night at 10:00 EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
