Podcast episode No. 53 published

We just posted episode No. 53 of the "DCD Classical Cast." It continues the survey we started in the previous episode of Troubadisc's "Violin Solo" series. Last episode we featured selections from Volumes 1 and 4, the latest release in the series.

This program we play selections from volume 2 and volume 3. Renate Eggebrecht does an outstanding job in these recordings, creating interesting programs of solo violin music from contemporary composers both famous and obscure.

Podcast episode No. 52 published

We just posted the first installment of a two-part series looking at music for the solo violin. Renate Eggebrecht has recorded four discs of 20th Century solo violin music, and the range of composers, styles, and nationalities gives the series real depth and variety.

Episode 52 of the "DCD Classical Cast," we play music primarily from the newest release in the series, Violin Solo, Volume 4. We fill in with selections from the first volume, subtitled Solo Sonatas in the Spirit of J.S. Bach.

Next podcast we'll round out our look at the series with selections from volumes two and three from this Troubadisc series.
