A Brandenburg concerto and a cantata by Bach, "Bolero" by Ravel, the 2nd Symphony frmo Brahms, and other famous and not-as-famous works on this week's "Evening Concert".
It's a program featuring Shostakovich's 13th Symphony.
Three days. That's all it took. Shostakovich wrote the "Festive Overture" in 1954 for the 37th Anniversary of the 'October Revolution' in three days!
It's an all-Russian music program with a work by Rachmaninoff and one by Shostakovich.
The Shostakovich "1st Piano Concerto" features a trumpet obbligato, and, as a result, the work is sometimes referred to as the "Concerto for Piano and Trumpet". If you know the work, or you've never heard it, hear it tonight at 7:00 on the "Evening Concert".
