Classical Music Playlist, December 15, 2022
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 begins darkly, the feeling of fate pressing in from all sides. But along the way, we meet some brass friends, hear a gorgeous oboe solo, and eventually explode in full-throated orchestral triumph, bringing the work - and maybe your year - to a happy conclusion. Take an epic journey today with Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony, your Midday Masterpiece at 2pm.
