Vivaldi's Spring, Scheherazade, and other signs of the vernal equinox

Today's show is recorded on the vernal equinox, and so the musical selections are tailored for beauty, growth, rebirth, and romance. Vivaldi's most famous violin concerto from the Four Seasons, Spring, raises the curtain. Rimsky-Korsakov's masterpiece, Scheherazade, immediately follows. Included in the playlist are a meditative cello-piano duet by Piazolla, a gorgeous piano trio by Haydn, and an aria by Haydn about bulls butting heads during mating season. The show finishes with the lyrical beauty of Chopin's first piano concerto. Listen and be transported to places in your dreams!
