Saint Paul Sunday for December 09, 2007
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Guarneri String Quartet Performs Mozart, Ravel, Dvořák"
Revelations: On the heels of their 40th anniversary, the Guarneri String Quartet returns to Saint Paul Sunday with music by Mozart, Dvořák and Ravel — works that reveal the heart and soul of this revered ensemble as movingly today as they did when it first performed them. Each composer's distinct voice shines, but refracted through a sound and mastery wholly the Guarneri's own. After more than four decades, both remain undimmed.
What would it be like to hear the Juilliard String Quartet perform in your living room? Or to invite violinist Joshua Bell over for brunch and Bach? Many people believe that chamber music is open only to connoisseurs, but each week Saint Paul Sunday's host Bill McGlaughlin (pronounced "mih-*GLOCK*-lun") disproves this all-too-common view.
He opens the studio to the world's best classical artists—musicians of every conceivable style and mix—for both performance and conversation, giving listeners intimate access to how music is created at the highest level. It's all done with a great sense of exuberance and curiosity. The series' unique approach has won it hundreds of thousands of loyal listeners.
