Highlights include a performance by Alfred Brendel—one of the world's great interpreters of Beethoven's piano music—of the composer's Piano Sonata No. 17 in D Minor, "Tempest" (and, as Brendel was also a marvelous poet, Foley will also share a selection or two from his selected poems, Playing the Human Game.) Maurizio Pollini will be represented by performances of Chopin and Boulez—and we'll celebrate Twelfth Night with several musical works inspired by Shakespeare's immortal comedy of the same name and other music celebratory of the Twelfth Day of Christmas and Epihpany Eve.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and the stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
