Join host Michael Wolch for another journey, as we span the globe for more muscial treasures.

I am very excited to let you know that this weekend I will have a Winnipeg exclusive interview with the great Canadian harpist Valerie Milot. Milot has just released a new CD on Analekta called Orbis and I will be featuring almost the whole CD as well as an interview with the artist herself. It is a wonderful recording, that blends the hypnotizing and enchanting music of Marjan Mozetich with meditative music of Steve Reich and a relaxing work by John Cage. A couple of surprises await also, with a cover of a Frank Zappa song and one by the British prog rock band Gentle Giant!

You will hear Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Leroy Anderson, Liszt and more:

 

 

We will liven things up with some jazz-inspired works:

 

So, if you love classical music and beyond, Saturday's noon-6:00 on Classic107 is the place to be.
