New Podcast Episode Posted

I've just posted episode #38 of the DCD Classical Cast. The program features three different concertos. Since the nature of the podcast is to showcase recordings for sale at DCDRecords.com rather than offer complete musical programs (would that it were different), we tend to feature excerpts on the podcast.

In most cases I try to match the excerpted movement to a corresponding place in the podcast. In this program, for example, the opening piece is the first movement of Mozart's first piano concerto. The middle of the three selections is the second movement of Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto, where it fills a similar role in the composition. And the final work is the finale to Bloch's Violin Concerto.

Does this kind of programming make the show flow better? I think so, but I'm alwasy open for suggestions. What do you think?
