An appetizing, eclectic program. Charity is represented by a sturdy American song: “If I Can Help Somebody.” Malice is represented by a movement from Walton’s Symphony No. 1, marked “Presto con malizia.” Much to listen to and absorb.
Shostakovich, “A Spin through Moscow” from “Moscow, Cheryomushko”
Fauré, “Clair de lune”
Beethoven, “Abscheulicher!,” from “Fidelio”
Walton, Symphony No. 1, Scherzo: Presto con malizia
Ruby (?), “I’m Against It”
Hoiby, “Winter Song”
Hoiby, “There came a wind like a bugle”
Androzzo, “If I Can Help Somebody”
Gubaidulina, “Glorious Percussion”
