New Classical Tracks:
Fantasia

Fantasia
By Yuja Wang

The cover art for Fantasia features Yuja Wang perched on a grand piano, looking a bit like the black swan, dressed in a red flowing skirt and black, fluffy wings. It's a visual representation of what you'll find on this recording: music depicting the age-old struggle between the dark side and the angelic side. — Julie Amacher

A special new release from A Prairie Home Companion!

In a wonderful evening of storytelling, laughter and plenty of music, Garrison Keillor is joined by The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, led by Philip Brunelle and accompanied by Richard Dworsky.

"Philip and I have performed together with a long list of great orchestras, among them the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra, and the San Francisco Symphony. After years on the road, we brought the show home to St. Paul and the phenomenal Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, The Fitzgerald audience was treated to favorites like "Homage to the Aunts," "Lake Wobegon Hymn," "Seven Love Sonnets," "Habanera," "Song of the Exiles," and much more. The Saint Paul Chamber was the first orchestra I ever heard, when I was a freshman at the U, and so in winding up my modest orchestral career, I chose to do it at home with the hometown band."
