At the "Beeb"

This week's episode of the ASCAP Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Award winning program Between the Keys features great commercially released piano performances that stem from the BBC.

"It's amazing to behold the wealth of commercially released recordings from the BBC archives featuring great pianists, frequently in repertoire that they otherwise did not record," says Between the Keys' creator, producer and host Jed Distler, who is The Classical Network's Artist-in-Residence. "I thought it would be interesting and illuminating to share some of these performances, many of which I've prized in my collection for years."

Pianists include Myra Hess, Vlado Perlemuter, Annie Fischer, Clifford Curzon, Shura Cherkassky, Tatiana Nikolayeva, Mieczyslaw Horszowski, Claudio Arrau and former Between the Keys guest Norma Fisher.

Tune in this Friday at 3:00 PM, with the rebroadcast Saturday at 6:00 PM, exclusively on The Classical Network and WWFM.org
