Thursday December 7th, 2023 with David Dalle
A seasonal suite--from my own eclectic perspective.
My listening is always strongly influenced by the season, and October, November, and December, particularly, have me listening to a lot of Baroque music. Today we will hear a very lengthy musical playlist beginning and ending with music by Handel in d minor. What we stuff inside these musical bookends will be varied, rich, and unexpected. Join me in listening to seasonal music, as I hear it.

After that lengthy set bookended by Handel's d minor pieces, we will finish the show with the ecstatic Magnificat by Bach, in a blazing D major. One of the most explicitly Christmas-related works which will appear on my program. This is Bach at his most joyful and exuberant, particularly in the incomparable recording by The English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir. |
