Magical Classical - Opus 1
This radio show pilot was syndicated to six stations. The show ( now archived) was a pilot for an incredible musical journey diving into the world of fresh and uplifting melodies composed by the greats! From the timeless harmonies of Schumann, Delius, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, and Mozart, to the dramatic grandeur of Verdi and Vivaldi, the enchanting melodies of Mendelssohn, the energetic rhythms of Weber, and the poignant melodies of Schubert, we've got you covered. And that's not all — we'll be exploring the symphonic poetry of Smetana, taking you on a musical adventure like no other! Our feature, "The Old Curiosity Shop", is Opera 2, sung by the amazing Kazakh singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Dimash Qudaibergen. And our dip into the Magic of the Musicals includes:
• Perhaps Love by Placido Domingo
• You'll be back from "Hamilton" and
• You will be found from "Dear Evan Hansen"
