      What Else Ya Got?

      Have you ever wondered about those composers who succeeded in writing one smashing piece but were otherwise forgotten? This week, we’ll get to know some of these immortals and their other compositions, including Pachelbel’s Suite in G Major and Dukas’ Symphony in C Major. The program also presents Hermann Baumann in a rare performance of Glière's Horn Concerto in B-flat Major, Op. 91.
