Description
If, like most people in the 21st Century, much of your musical listening is done through headphones on a small handheld device, you can expand your horizons on Classical World. That trove of treasures, from Albinoni to Zemlinsky, will get you thinking about what it is that makes a truly legendary music. One of the joys of classical over other musical genres is that the greatest pieces get recorded again and again. And unlike, say, classic theatrical works which are also repeated and re-imagined for each generation, so long as the musical performances have been recorded, we can continue to experience them in myriad different interpretations. It’s hard to imagine more compelling proof of music’s singular power to connect humanity across time and space than to hear, the range of music in this playlist, which moves us in completely different yet resonant ways.
