Join Raymond Jones this and every Saturday evening at 8 for “This Just In,” where you'll discover the latest and greatest in classical music releases.
This week, get ready for the journey of a monumental, nature-inspired work. We will continue our traversal of the symphonies of Gustav Mahler with his colossal Symphony No. 3, performed by the Czech Philharmonic and choruses conducted by Semyon Bychkov. The Czech Philharmonic and its Chief Conductor and Music Director Semyon Bychkov continue their acclaimed Mahler cycle with the composer’s Third Symphony, working together with mezzo-soprano Catriona Morison, the Prague Philharmonic Choir, and Pueri Gaudentes. The Czech Philharmonic – recently awarded Gramophone’s Orchestra of the Year Award – is one of the world’s orchestral gems, recognized for its rich tradition with the Czech masters as well as European repertoire.
The program also includes Beethoven’s Mass in C with the Beecham Choral Society and Royal Philharmonic under Sir Thomas Beecham, an evocation of Arthurian Cornwall with “Tintagel” by Sir Arnold Bax played by the London Symphony, and the youthful Serenade for Winds by Richard Strauss.
Don’t miss out on these exciting classical music releases! Tune in to “This Just In" Saturday evening at 8:00 on WHRO-FM 90.3 or listen online for a night full of powerful and emotional new performances.
