A New Piano Puzzler, and Castle Music
Composer Bruce Adolphe (pictured) joins PT host Fred Child with this week's Piano Puzzler. Bruce re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer. Play along as a PT listener tries to name the composer whose style Bruce is mimicking, and the hidden tune. Plus, a full hour of music inspired by castles, and recent concerts that took place inside castles. A castle-inspired symphonic poem by Arnold Bax, the Tokyo Quartet and Leif Ove Andsnes in concert at the Royal Castle in Warsaw, and Vivaldi's "Summer" in concert at the Castello di Amorosa (the "Castle of Love") in Napa Valley, California.
