Pesach Sameach! Passover begins at sunset.

Join me this afternoon, when among our featured works will be Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Violin Concerto No. 2, subtitled “The Prophets,” ballet music from Rossini’s “Moses,” and Wojciech Kilar’s “Exodus.”*

We’ll also celebrate the birthdays today of conductor and composer Victor de Sabata, cellist and composer Auguste Franchomme, and pianist and composer Eugen d’Albert.

Join me for an afternoon of unleavened entertainment, from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network, and at wwfm.org.

For more Passover music, join me tomorrow, immediately following the noontime concert (probably around 1:40 p.m.), for Paul Dessau’s oratorio “Haggadah shel Pesach.”
