WDIY Classics
Host: Andrew Tomlinson
Monday, 9 a.m.- 12 p.m.
This morning we'll highlight Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake suite – assembled after his death to showcase the atmosphere and color of Tchaikovsky’s 1875 work - now one of the most popular ballets of all time. But first we’ll hear Baroque Christmas music from Sammartini and Torelli; commanding chamber music from Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, a favorite of Louis XIV, the Sun King; and a masterful serenade for wind instruments from Mozart. Then we’ll move to Benjamin Britten’s 1945 composition ‘The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra’, (which highlights each instrument in turn), and Vivaldi’s solo sonata for oboe, as preserved in the archives at Dresden, whose musicians were so much admired by JS Bach.
