‘This Just In’ – Your Weekly Guide to the Freshest Classical Releases

This Saturday at 8 p.m., join Raymond Jones for “This Just In” on WHRO-FM, your weekly guide to staying up to date with the latest classical releases.
This week, prepare for an evening of deep listening and emotional contemplation through four sensitive works. First, a touch of melancholy with Dmitri Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 2, performed by Hungarian Cellist Istvan Vardai. Then, step onto the path of remembrance with John Tavener’s “Song for Athene”, a sacred choral meditation sung by the award-winning Tenebrae Choir. Next, the suite “Seven Days” by Virginia native Gregory Spears will guide you through the biblical story of Creation, for a contemplative musical journey. Finally, Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 7, “Song of the Night”, performed by the Czech Philharmonic under the inspired direction of Semyon Bychkov, will bring the evening to a radiant conclusion.
Don’t miss out on these emotional classical music releases. Tune in to “This Just In" Saturday evening at 8:00 on WHRO-FM 90.3, or online through our Media Player for a night full of spirituality and contemplation.
