This afternoon on The Classical Network, to mark the birthdays of composer Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov and conductor David Lloyd-Jones, I’ve assembled a hefty playlist of musicians with double-barreled surnames.
We’ll marvel at the creative capacity of back-loaded and bottom-heavy artists like Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Sigfrid Karg-Elert, Julian Lloyd Webber, Peter Maxwell Davies, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, Camille Saint-Saëns, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Federico Moreno Torroba, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Heitor Villa-Lobos.
It’s music-making so epic, it cannot be encapsulated in a single name. Double your pleasure, from 4 to 7 p.m. EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
