Love gone wrong—and often ending tragically (just think of the operatic repertoire alone)—is the basis of course for countless works of classical music (and music in general). With this year's relatively rare occurance of Friday the 13th in the month of February (which brings that famously unluck day in conjunction with Valentine's Day), Friday's Classical Music with Foley Schuler will focus on those those "unlucky" in love—with special help from legendary film composer, whose opera based on the doomed love story Wuthering Heights was passion project that occupied (indeed, obsessed) the composer for years. We'll hear highlights from that as well as a suite from iconic score to Hitchcok's cinematic masterpiece of love both obsessive and doomed, Vertigo. Also on the program, the acclaimed vocal ensemble Anonymous 4, from their recording of 14th Century love songs named for the level in hell in Dante's Inferno where the great lovers of history reside, The Second Circle.
You can hear Foley Schulers musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon between 1 and 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
