Right now we’re listening to Philadelphia composer Paul Nordoff’s “Winter Symphony,” a prized recording on the Louisville Orchestra’s First Edition Records label. Join me later on in the hour as Lee Holdridge does his best Erich Wolfgang Korngold impression, with his Violin Concerto No. 2.
Ruth Ochs, music director of the Westminster Community Orchestra, will drop by around 9:00 to talk a little bit about the upcoming Westminster Conservatory of Music showcase concert, which will take place on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium. The program will include performances by community ensembles, students and conservatory competition winners. Ochs is also conductor of the Princeton University Sinfonia.
Yet to come this morning: works by Wallingford Riegger, Carl Ruggles, Earl Kim, Richard Yardumian and Alan Hovhaness – all heard on LP, all otherwise unavailable. Out-of-print recordings for your delectation, as part of WPRB’s Vinyl Week. It’s all vinyl through Sunday, and all Classic Ross Amico through 11 a.m., on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com.
