”The” classical concert program is an overture, followed by a concert and a symphony. So, as it’s in use in the concert halls, it actually never took off on CD. Strange! In te time of Spotify, it’s easy to create your own concert. And so I did. From two recent and one almost recent issues I compiled some fine playing in a classical sandwich. All recordings on this playlist are on authentic instruments. Enjoy the program!
