Classical Music Playlist, February 14, 2022
It’s Valentine’s Day, and your Midday Masterpiece really couldn’t be anything else than Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's take on the classic Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet.
Tchaikovsky masterfully tells the story through music, from the solemn chorale representing Friar Tuck, to the irregular cymbal crashes of the families fighting in the streets, to the iconic love theme.
Relive the drama of this timeless tale with Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy, right here on CapRadio Music at 2pm.
