Classical Playlist Goodness 9/18

Radio playlist for tonight . . .
Arthur Honegger, Pastorale d'été (1920)

Bohuslav Martinů, Nonet (1959)

Vincent d'Indy, Symphony on a French Mountain Song (1886)

Vítĕzslav Novák, "In the Church," from Slovak Suite (1903)

Claude Debussy, Cello Sonata (1915)

Max Bruch, Scottish Fantasy, op. 46 (1880)
I meant for this to be a late-19th-century lineup, but you see the pull the 20th century exerts. The must-hear on this list is the Debussy sonata. I'm really very fond of the Bruch fantasy too.

Hat tip to Robert A. Fradkin's pronunciation guide The Well-Tempered Announcer, which no one had previously checked out of the School of Music library since 1998. I've finally broken down and started saying "Honegger" without the initial "H."

Thursday 6 to 8 pm is definitely on as the official timeslot. Actual blogging in conjunction with this show will begin shortly, by next week's show if I pull my act together.
