OM is in its tenth season on WSFM. Over the next 11 months, I am going to revisit some of my most favorite works from the first nine years (along with plenty of new discoveries, of course...) So, a lot of Schnittke, Ustvolskaya, Messiaen, Ligeti and Saariaho among others but I'll be playing a LOT of Shostakovich. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion and mine is that he was the greatest artist - in any genre - of the century. I'll be playing one major Shostakovich work on every non-thematic program until October 2025 (assuming I'm not sent to a concentration camp) and I'm starting with not one but two favorite recordings of post-Stalin masterpieces - Torleif Thedeen's take on the second cello concerto and Bernard Haitink's on Symphony 14 (my vote for greatest work of art in the 20th century.) Happy Thanksgiving. Playlist here: https://spinitron.com/WSFM/pl/19783607/Orchestral-Maneuvers
