Posted on Mar 31, 2013

The Resurrection season brings new series to DZFE, beginning with two launching on Easter, 31 March 2013.

THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC THIS WEEK (Sun 1300) features the orchestra under Alan Gilbert, one of the youngest music directors in the Orchestra’s history and the only native New Yorker to hold the post and your Emmy Award-winning actor and host, Alec Baldwin. The short series is drawn from the Orchestra’s entire 2012-2013 subscription season and is interspersed with programs taken from the Philharmonic’s international tours, their Summertime Classics Series, their residency at Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival in Colorado, as well as their extensive library of commercial and archival recordings.

THE GILMORE INTERNATIONAL KEYBOARD FESTIVAL (Sun 2000) is a 13-part radio series focusing on classical musica at the 2012 Gilmore Festival, featuring artists such as Richard Goode, Emanuel Ax, Peter Serkin and Gilmore Artist Kirill Gerstein as well as rising stars Vanessa Perez, Christian Sands and Gilmore Young Artists Conrad Tao and George Li. Exclusive interviews, at-the-piano demonstrations, and on-site recordings give a behind-the-scenes look at the artists’ approach to their craft.
