There will be plenty of candles on the cake today. Join me at 4:00 EST in celebrating the birthday anniversaries of Max Bruch, Alexander Scriabin, and Maurice Abravanel. I’ll also have a musical remembrance of conductor Georges Prêtre, who died on Wednesday at the age of 92.

“Picture Perfect” comes your way at 6:00. Now that we’ve had a taste a snow, it’s time to take in some wintry scenes from world cinema. We’ll hear music from “The Snowstorm” (1964), by Georgy Sviridov, “The Demon of the Himalayas” (1935), by Arthur Honegger, “Scott of the Antarctic” (1948), by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and “Alexander Nevsky” (1938), by Sergei Prokofiev.

It’s Friday afternoon. Chill out with WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.
