If you want to stay up to date with the latest classical releases, you’re in the right place on WHRO-FM, with “This Just In,” this Saturday evening at 8:00.
Host Raymond Jones brings you Benjamin Britten’s energetic and theatrical “Paul Bunyan” Overture, performed by the BBC Philharmonic. Next, we hear Brahms’ experimenting with the balance between piano and orchestra in his Piano Concerto No. 1 in d minor, finely played by Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi. Then, let’s enjoy the latest release from the distinguished international ensemble Ensemble Telos, featuring Georges Onslow’s dramatic String Quintet No. 24. From there, we turn to Schumann’s Violin Sonata No. 1, heard here in a lyrical arrangement for flute, that transforms the personality of the piece from a darker register to a lighter, singing sound. Following that, young British pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason beautifully performs Chopin’s bel canto-inspired Nocturne No. 8 in D-flat. To conclude the three-hour program, the National Symphony of Washington (DC), conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, takes us through a whole range of emotions with Gustav Mahler’s impressive Symphony No. 7.
From intimate nocturnes to monumental symphonies, enjoy an evening of new releases this Saturday evening at 8:00 on WHRO-FM with ‘This Just In.’ You can also listen online through our Media Player or your preferred device.
