His music is for all seasons.
Today is the anniversary of the birth of Antonio Vivaldi. The Red Priest. Igor Stravinsky once quipped that Vivaldi wrote the same concerto 500 times. We’ll only have time for three.
We’ll also celebrate conductor Bernard Haitink on his 90th birthday, and remember three great musicians who died in the past four days: conductor, pianist, and composer André Previn, organist Peter Hurford, and choral director Joseph Flummerfelt.
We’ll see Red and we’ll see blue, from 4 to 7 p.m. EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
