Weekend of March 17, 2012
Nostalgia
Nostalgia is a sweet but dangerous thing. Too much sugar and it loses its authenticity. Too much vinegar and it's more painful than satisfying. When he was past 50, Zoltan Kodaly resurrected a favorite childhood memory, hearing the local Gypsy musicians in his home town of Galanta. He came up with just the right blend of sugar and spice, of energy and reflection, in his Dances of Galanta. We'll hear it, from a concert in Paris.
