Book Alert
(No, it's a CD alert. Actually, both alert flags are hoisted)
Classical music history is music to the ears
"Classical music is a great pleasure, and there could not be a finer introduction to the subject than The Story of Classical Music, written by Darren Henley and read by Marin Alsop. The latter has been in the news recently because she has been named the music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. She is the first woman to head a major U.S. orchestra."
{update 7/28/05
The Marin Moment
An interview with Ms Alsop about the furore surrounding her appointment, wherein she's more excited talking about music than herself and Frank Zappa's "Be-Bop Tango" and an anonymous cab driver combine to reveal something of her approach to music.) ¶ 7/27/2005 07:18:00 PM
