At its climaxes, Arnold Schoenberg’s “Gurrelieder” makes Mahler’s “Symphony of a Thousand” sound like chamber music.

This Thursday morning on WPRB, we’ll sample from Schoenberg’s early exercise in Romantic excess, as we attempt to dodge the undead hordes on their wild hunt. It will be one of many wild rides we’ll endure, in our desperation to cling to life and soul, as we are assailed by wave after wave of Halloween terrors.

We’ll be set upon by Victor Hugo’s djinns (twice). We’ll be tempted and tormented by Goethe’s Erlkönig (three times). We’ll bolt for our lives with Robert Burns’ Tam O’Shanter (again, thrice). We’ll encounter a literal night mare in a Norwegian wood (once is enough). We’ll take a couple of short rides in fast machines. And we’ll ride with the Devil, over and over again.

You can flee the Abyss, but you can’t hide, this Thursday morning from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. We’re going to get you every witch way, on Classic Ross Amico.
