Tag: Song of the Stars

Plenty of world premiere recordings this morning on WPRB, thanks to the Naxos label, as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Spanish master Enrique Granados. Right now, we’re listening to his “Suite on Galician Songs,” a 30-minute, folk-inflected work for orchestra. In the 8:00 hour, we’ll hear his “Song of the Stars,” a masterpiece gone missing for nearly a century, scored for piano, organ and three choruses. We’ll also have songs, instrumental music, the complete one-act opera “Goyescas,” and the rarely-heard symphonic poem “Dante,” between now and 11 a.m. EDT. We subscribe to the maxim “No Spain, no gain,” on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com.
