Weekend of January 9, 2010
The Sights and Sounds of Epiphany
Ottorino Respighi loved his adopted city of Rome. He wrote three memorable pieces about the city. Today we'll hear his "Roman Festivals," with its final movement a musical depiction of the sights, sounds, and smells of a Roman Epiphany festival. And, after taking a week off, Bruce Adolphe is back with the first "Piano Puzzler" of the new year. Make a resolution to tune in.
