Classical Countdown Rewind
We spend the last day of the year with Classical Countdown Rewind, reliving the exciting playback of this year's Top 100 pieces voted by our listeners. The countdown continues into New Year's Day.
Classical Breakdown
Few countries have elevated a composer like Finland and Jean Sibelius. John Banther and Evan Keely look into his breakout success, symphonies, dramatic life events, and how he incorporates Finnish culture into music. Plus, what do Sibelius, Gilmore Girls, and Lord of The Rings have in common?
Choral Showcase
Mozart’s scintillating class comedy and eternal masterpiece in which cleverness, tricks and mistaken identity combine to outsmart a Count in his amorous pursuit. A special performance from the Met's archives from 1956, honoring the centenaries of legendary singers Cesare Siepi and Victoria de los Angeles.
Choral Showcase
We'll bid farewell to the Old, this New Year's Eve on Choral Showcase with a work set on the final day of the year: The Little Match Girl Passion by David Lang, drawn from a story by Hans Christian Andersen. And we'll welcome the New with a performance of Antonio Vivaldi's Gloria in D Major.
