MarsGal I'm sure that something inspires those modern composers to create what they do. If it is, as you suggest, "a reflection of noise, bustle and stress of modern living,"' I could accept that, but if so, it must reflect some horrible life experiences.

You pose an interesting question regarding modern music and modern art.  I think, if I recall my History 101, that movements like this tend to occur at the same time in the areas of music, literature and art.

Have you heard "Festive Overture" by Foerster?

Looking forward to the next three hours. 
Tomereader  that composer is unknown to me.

I am here ready to hear good music.

Hi Gloria

Other than the music, I have never seen or even heard of the movie Hotel Berlin. Have any of you folks seen it?

I am here... was listening to the music but could not access  S&F as my computer was busy with Aviv

Loved the sorcerer!

DON  I saw so many movies way back then I might have seen it. The music is familiar but don't remember the movie. One sister used to take me to the movies every Sunday afternoon back in those years. That is where we were on that December 7th in '41 when they stopped the movie and a man came out on the stage and told everyone what happened.  Everyone left. I was 10 at the time.

BUBBLE  glad you made it.

Hi Bubble.
Today's show is pre-recorded because they shut the studio down for electrical maintenance, and guess what?  They started hour one with hour two and I have no idea what's in store when they play hour two.

I missed the first 3 but I am glad to have heard Dukas and now Porgy and Bess is very near my heart.  I saw it in US. What a performance that was!

That is ridiculous! can they not count???

Bubble for all that it's worth, I'll complain again, but I don't think anything will happen.
Gloria that movie had such a stellar cast I'm sure I would have remembered it, but I don't.

Don, but they seem only half hour off, don't you think?  Or maybe I don't understand the numbers on the program.

Humouresque is supposed to be the last segment of hour two. Let's see what happens now

I was beginning to think I copied the wrong list for today. I like following what is played DON thanks for telling me I have not lost all my marbles yet.

Yes Gloria we are perfectly sane.  I'm not sure about the studio administration.  They just started hour 3.
Bubble this one is suitable for Jerusalem Day

DON  glad to know that.  One movie I remember was about Rimsky-Korsakov and I was in my teens then.

Gloria I did not know there was a movie about Rimsky-Korsakov: do you recall the title?

DON  I don't remember the title. That was back in the late '40's.  I think I remember it because it was the first time I heard a name like that, it was Jean Pierre Aumont who played the lead and Brian O'Hearn was in it, too. I do remember the actors I liked.

Song of Scheherazade is a 1947 American musical film directed by Walter Reisch. It tells the story of an imaginary episode in the life of the Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (Jean-Pierre Aumont), in 1865, when he was a young naval officer on shore leave in Morocco. It also features Yvonne De Carlo as a Spanish dancer named Cara de Talavera, Eve Arden as her mother, and Brian Donlevy as the ship's captain. Charles Kullman (credited as Charles Kullmann), a tenor with the Metropolitan Opera, plays the ship's doctor, Klin, who sings two of Rimsky-Korsakov's melodies.

Thanks Bubble. I must have missed that one

I had to close the computer for 5 minutes.  When I came back, I am hearing again Gershwin and then Dvorak!!!!  What is going on?

Gloria I'm working on next Sunday's show and I'm pleased to announce there will be TWO works by Chopin on the show.

Bubble I can't explain that.  I've been listening without interruption and there have been no repeats

BUBBLE  thank you. I have been trying to think of the name of that movie. There were 2 actors at that time named Brien and I liked both of them, just got the wrong last name.  It was one of those big musical movies that were popular then after WW2.

DON  I will have to make sure I am here next week. Cannot miss 2 pieces by Chopin.
