Power through with classical music

“We start with a piece by Jean-Baptiste Lully, composed for the 1670 comedy-ballet "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme" by Moliere. It is followed by a "Humoresque" solo piano piece by the Norwegian composer Agathe Backer Grøndahl, and some contemporary vocal work by John Cage. We also listen to Barbara Henricks singing a duet from André Messager's operetta "Véronique", to cellist Sol Gabetta playing Ernest Bloch's "Prayer" from "Jewish Life", and to a suite by Romantic composer Benjamin Godard for flute and piano. Finally, Renée Fleming is Mimi in Ruggero Leoncavallo's version of "La bohème", before one of W. A. Mozart's Church Sonatas. Cecile McLorin Salvant closes tonight's mixtape with a jazz song entitled "Nothing Like You". _________________ Producer: Julien Rosa”
