Marvin Rosen has a terrific Classical Discoveries program coming up next Wednesday.  His guests from 8:30 am until 11 will be the legendary Frank J. Oteri and…umm, me.  That assumes, of course, neither of us oversleeps and misses the train to Princeton.  (Neither Frank nor I can operate an automobile, which is a hallmark of the true New Yorker.)   

As many you know, I’m sure, Wednesday is the birthday of an unlikely pair of composers–John Cage and Amy Beach.  What only Frank would know is that it is also the birthday of 1952 Pulitzer Prize winner Gail Kubik and 2000 Pulitzer Prize winner Louis Spratlan.

Marvin has asked us to bring along recordings of some favorite pieces (fairly short, I’m guessing).  Who has some recommendations? 

Classical Discoveries is broadcast on WPRB 103.3 FM in Princeton, NJ, and online at www.wprb.com each Wednesday from 6 to 11 am. For more information you can email Marvin at clasdis@cs.com.
