It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

My KUSC commute set, on the way to work today

For my car system, it sounded excellent.

8:00 am
Aram Khachaturian: Sabre Dance
Boston Pops Orchestra / John Williams
Philips 426247
Very good performance--I own a mint EMI copy with Khatchaturian

8:02 am
Ludwig van Beethoven: Consecration of the House Overture Op.124
Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig / Kurt Masur
Philips 438706
This is superb, vigorous, full blooded, fast not furious authoritative performance. Are you guys familiar with other Masur Beethoven overtures?

8:14 am
Gil Shaham in Conversation: The KUSC Artist of the Morning talks about finding more fun in music with each passing year.
He cited Lorin Maazel.

The legendary violinist plays the Mendelssohn Concerto with the L.A. Phil and Gustavo Dudamel tonight at the Hollywood Bowl.
I won't go tonight, but will hear Yundi Li on 8.6.15

8:15 am
KUSC ARTIST OF THE MORNING - Gil Shaham: Pablo de Sarasate - Carmen Fantasy
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra / Claudio Abbado
DG 457583
Absolutely beautiful but violin is very forwardly mixed. I have Heifetz, Anne Sophie Mutter and Sarah Chang outdoors in Berlin w Domingo. Do you have a preference?
