9/11 Anniversary Musical Tribute to NYC

9/11 Anniversary Musical Tribute to NYC

by 

This week on “Picture Perfect,” on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, it’s a multifaceted portrait of Manhattan.

Enjoy selections from “All About Eve” and “Street Scene” (both by Alfred Newman),” “Taxi Driver” (Bernard Herrmann), “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (Henry Mancini), and “King Kong” (Max Steiner). Also, Oscar Levant will perform George Gershwin’s “Second Rhapsody,” from the 1931 film “Delicious.”

It’s a collage of realism and romance, tragedy and comedy, seediness and sophistication. Join me for “Indomitable New York,” on “Picture Perfect,” music for the movies. The Big Apple never falls, this Saturday evening at 6:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
