"With so many new releases darting at me all over the place, and many classic piano performances that repose on my shelves for years, I've decided to take a deep breath, take a step back, and simply devote an episode to some nice things that I've been neglecting, or missing out on," says Jed Distler, the Classical Network's Artist-in-Residence and host for Between the Keys.
Tune in to Tuesday night February 13th at 10 (with a rebroadcast Monday February 19th at Noon), for an unusually varied program, even by Between the Keys' eclectic, all-embracing standards. Mr. Distler will feature an early piano trio by Frank Martin, Walter Gieseking in Ravel, clavichord music by Herbert Howells, Martha Argerich's Rachmaninov, an excerpt from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier from a rare recording by the unsung piano legend Alexander Borovsky, the rarely heard Piano Concerto by Lee Hoiby, and, lastly, classic selections by William Kapell, Van Cliburn and Julius Katchen.
