To accompany the two fairly grim works on this morning's program, Mother Nature decided to let loose with a fabulous, lashing, pounding, howling winter storm. Given how dry things have been for the past few years, this ought to be a welcome change, but when you're trying to listen to chamber music, the distraction of a storm can be kind of annoying.
As with last week, I found the two pieces on today's program to be superbly matched, and Robert Greenberg's excellent lectures went far towards illuminating the how and why of that pairing.
Good show!
