Stay Up-to-Date with the Latest Classical Releases on 'This Just In'

The Kansas City Symphony

The Kansas City Symphony

Join us this Saturday evening at 8:00 p.m. on WHRO-FM for This Just In, where Raymond Jones showcases the latest classical music releases. This week’s program features an exciting selection of new recordings, starting with Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 1, brilliantly orchestrated by Arnold Schoenberg, and performed by the Kansas City Symphony under the baton of Michael Stern.

The BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Barry Wordsworth, will delight listeners with Gustav Holst’s “Somerset Rhapsody.” We’ll also hear the Oslo Philharmonic led by Klaus Mäkelä in a powerful performance of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, from a disc released just last month.

For those who love chamber music, the program will include flute and piano works by Japanese composer Yuko Uebayashi, performed by the ELEVATE duo, featuring María Garcia on piano and Martha Long on flute. Additionally, discover a hidden gem in Avril Coleridge-Taylor’s "Sussex Landscape" performed by the Chineke! Orchestra.

Don’t miss this opportunity to discover what’s new in classical music this Saturday at 8:00 p.m. on WHRO-FM, 90.3, or listen online.
