DCD 055 - Odds and Ends

This program, Episode 55 of the "DCD Classical 'Cast" we feature some works that haven't been showcased before.

It's been a while since we've played anything by Patricia McCarty, and after listening to her lovely viola arrangement of Schubert's "Arpeggione" sonata, I wonder why I waited so long. We also include some heavenly music by Vincenzo Albrici, an Italian composer of the Baroque period cursed with wanderlust. He served the Queen of Sweden, played in England, and even worked in Germany for a while.

Speaking of the baroque, you'll hear guitarist Tom Leisek's arrangements of Jean Mouton. And we also include a chamber music arrangement of a Schumann piano sonata, performed by the Volkaert-Walther String Trio.

Enjoy! And remember, you don't need an iPod to listen to a podcast!
