Béla Bartok as the pianist in his own music; a re-issue of the 1980s-era recording of
Morton Subotnick's
Double Life of Amphibians; Granada 1013-1526,
Jordi Savall's latest project utilizing music and recitations to describe the culture of a historical era; and finally,
Leonard Slatkin conducting
Aaron Copland's rarely-heard ballet
Hear Ye! Hear Ye!. What will you find?
