Chaos, Order, and a Puzzler
The book of Genesis tells the story of God creating order and beauty out of chaos and darkness. Today's show starts with some astonishing music for its time. In 1738, Jean-Fery Rebel depicted that primordial chaos in his ballet, "Les Elemens" ("The Elements"). It's wild and discordant, but quickly turns into a charming set of dances. We'll hear the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, in concert in Germany. Plus, Bruce Adolphe returns with the Piano Puzzler.
