31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN (DAY 16)
It’s a dark and stormy night. Keep an eye out for Ondine, Scarbo, and the hanged man on the gibbet! Sir John Gielgud recites Aloysius Bertrand’s poetry, and Gina Bachauer performs Maurice Ravel’s “Gaspard de la Nuit.”

Poetry Inspires Music on WPRB
Coming up later in this hour: Sir John Gielgud reads the eerie texts by Aloysius Bertrand that inspired Maurice Ravel’s “Gaspard de la Nuit” (“Gaspard of the Night”). Gina Bachauer will be the pianist in this classic recording.
We’ll also hear a gorgeous work after Edgar Allan Poe’s “Annabel Lee” by Philadelphia composer Romeo Cascarino and Irving Fine’s settings for a cappella chamber choir of poetry of Ben Jonson, “The Hour-Glass.”
It’s all poetry and music until 11 ET, on WPRB 103.3 FM, or online at wprb.com.
