The first hour of this week's show will be devoted to performances by three remarkable pianists—Marc Andred Hamelin, Richard Goode, and Alexendre Kantarow—each of whom will be appearing at this year's Gilmore International Piano Festival, April 30-May 10. In the 10 o'clock hour we'll remember the late, great Micheel Tilson Thomas upon his recent passing, with one of the most moving and beautiful of his works as a composer, his From the Diary of Anne Frank for narrator and orchestra—as well as a highly personal selection for solo piano based on his own youthful searching for selfhood, subtitled for the address in Los Angeles where he grew up: Sunset Solilquoy (Whitsett Avenue, 1963). Finally, in our 11 o'clock hour, Michael Tilson Thomas—one of the greatest interpreters of Mahler's music—will lead the San Francisco Symphony , with baritone Thomas Hampson, in thetwo sections from the composer's Das Lied von Der Erde.
You can hear Sunday on Blue Lake with your host Foley Schuler every Sunday morning from 9 until noon on Blue Lake Public Radio.
