World premieres, old and new
Today's show features five world premieres. But only one of the works is actually new. Historians and musicologists are still discovering works by Felix Mendelssohn and Baroque composer Johann Friedrich Fasch. We'll hear modern-day premieres of their works. Plus one honest-to-goodness world premiere, a piano trio by Kenneth Frazelle from last year's Music@Menlo festival in California.
