Every Monday morning at 9:15, I join John Birge on Classical MPR to talk about stories we're featuring on our website. Here are the features we'll be discussing today.
Have women's contributions to classical music been underappreciated? Yes, argues Emily Feld in an essay highlighting the many accomplishments of female musicians and composers.
You're used to hearing New Classical Tracks on Classical MPR, but there are many more new releases each month than we're able to highlight in that feature. For that reason, we're pleased to have experienced music writer Terry Blain spotlighting five notable new releases each month; his first monthly roundup has just been published.
One of our most-read features this year has been a story about the "viola organista," an instrument Leonardo da Vinci designed but never got to hear. Now, we have an update: a Kickstarter to record a complete album of music on the instrument has just met its funding goal.
