On this week's episode of the ASCAP Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Award winning program Between the Keys, the Classical Network's Artist-in-Residence and program host Jed Distler explores the thin line between "popular" and "populist" piano concertos, from Liberace reducing Rachmaninov and Liszt down to size ("I leave out all of the boring parts!") and concertos written especially for movies, up to the ultimate soloist/orchestra clash of wills as expressed in Franz Reizenstein's hilarious Concerto Popolare ("The Concerto to End All Concertos.")
Tune in Friday October 18th at 3 PM, with the rebroadcast Saturday October 19th at 6:00 PM, exclusively on The Classical Network and WWFM.org.
