I'm still hooked on the Italian classical music from last week's show, so I offer a spill-over: Bellini, Marcello, Rossini and Italian harp, plus a moshing in of baroque, Prokofiev and Honegger.

Happy Birthday to Carlos Chavez, Mexican composer and conductor. We'll hear Three Pieces for Guitar from the album Guitar Masterpieces of the 20th Century.

DON'T FORGET TO BUY TICKETS FOR KRUU-FM'S CLASSICAL GALA BENEFIT CONCERT COMING UP NEXT SATURDAY MAY 10th at the SONDHEIM CENTER featuring cellists Elle Wells and Dr, Charles Lee, dancer Catherine Wells and pianist Meara Oberdieck.

Listening to this week's show will make you feel like you've just stepped into a Vermeer painting...

You'll hear Bach's Harpsichord Concertos and music from an Ames, Iowa, based duo, Basically Baroque. The Chamber Music Society of Fairfield arranged for the duo to perform this Sunday, May 4th at ICON Gallery in Fairfield at 2 p.m. The duo plays harpsichord, baroque oboe and bassoon.

At 10:30 a.m. I'll talk with Kevin Schilling, Associate Professor of Music at Iowa State, one of the members of Basically Baroque.  read more »
