  1. Musical Interlude: Swedish composer Lars-Erik Larsson had a great idea...create some accessible modern music pieces for community orchestras to use when they have a guest artist. His series of "concertinos" are notable for their relatively simple orchestral backing with relatively complex instrumental solos; a chance for a guest artiste to show their stuff. They're charming works and it's nice to think of a composer who worked to provide community orchestras with material.

    "Concertino for Double Bass and Orchestra," composed by Lars-Erik Larsson, performed by the Camerata Roman Ensemble.

  5. Musical Interlude: Listened to some works by Hungarian-American composer Eugene Zador today; he fled Hungary ahead of the Nazis, and ended up in Hollywood where he anonymously composed some film scores while developing his own work. His work represents a mixture of Romanticism with Modernism.

    "Dance Overture," composed by Eugene Zador, performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra.
