Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," as originally arranged for jazz orchestra, headlines Dr. Paul's Classics today. Ferde Grofe's ingenious orchestration is a part of the punch that this piece still delivers. In addition, there are two lovely operatic duets, one by Haydn, and one by Smetana. A Vivaldi cello concerto is heard, as are pieces by Chopin, Pablo de Sarasate, and a lively, playful piano concerto by Haydn. Rimsky-Korsakov is represented, as is a Bach Brandenburg concerto. As a hidden jewel, find the meditative "Dance for a Dead Princess" by Maurice Ravel deep in the heart of today's music. Ravel's gem is beautiful, evocative, and stunning. Enjoy more classical music to improve your lung capacity. Dr. Paul, pictured here, center, swears by it!
