I'd like to bring to the attention of UC members the wonderful work done by Paolo Pietropaolo during his show In Concert, broadcasted on CBC Radio 2. Unfortunately it's only available live on Sunday mornings from 11am to 3pm, Eastern time. Listen here https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/2-4292-in-concert

First of all, Pietropaolo features beautiful music, some of it rarely heard on public radio (this morning show included Salieri's Danaïdes overture, and a very nice live concert recording by the European Soloists and Christoph König - Schumann's Genoneva overture, Raff's "Ein Heisser Tag" Symphony,  Albert Dietrich's Symphony in D minor and Brahms' Schicksalslied).

Another feature of this show is the "Revival hour" where Pietropaolo explores almost each week the music of one unfairly neglected composer (among others, George Onslow, Mel Bonis  and Augusta Holmes). Of course, it's not always by romantic composers, but it's well worth listening! Enjoy!

Next week : music by Emilie Mayer :)

There is, of course, no such thing as Raff's "Ein Heisser Tag" Symphony. "Ein heisser Tag" is the title of the first movement of Raff's Symphony No.9, "Im Sommer". 

Nevertheless, this sounds like a most worthwhile venture.

Sorry! Not a Raff specialist here...

No problem. It was the presenter of the show I was more worried about...
