This week we’re going to devote the entire program to music performed by the Kronos Quartet. There’s nobody else anything like them and there never has been. We’ll scratch the surface this Sunday.

Wilhelm Furtwangler was music director of the Berlin Philharmonic during World War II, and his political legacy is complicated — and not necessarily what you might expect. He was also widely regarded as one of the greatest Beethoven interpreters of the last century, and we’ll have a rare live recording of him conducting the Eroica Symphony this Sunday.

This week we highlight French music for the stage in the mid-19th century with a couple of overtures from the comic operas and a complete performance of Adolphe Adam’s balletGiselle, a tale of seduction, betrayal, and revenge from a cadre of ghosts.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 on January 27th, and we will observe the occasion this Sunday with lots of music from this most remarkable of child prodigies, musicians, and composers in all of music, who — in a short life — produced a body of work that has delighted listeners for nearly 265 years now.

Audiences were taking notice, and patrons were commissioning works. There was a troublesome ringing in his ears, but maybe that would go away.

Evreybody’s heard of Beethoven and Brahms, but most composers never attained that degree of fame. This week we’ll look at music by some of those whom most people have never heard of. We’ll do it with a sampling from about 600 years worth of work from composers who haven’t — or haven’t yet — become household names.
