19:30
HOUR = 1 SEGMENT = C1
Korva reports on how artists at the Spoleto Festival U.S.A. have
responded to a boycott of South Carolina, protesting that fact
that the Confederate flag still flies on the grounds of the
statehouse. Several artists cancelled their appearances at this
year's festival, based in Charleston, SC. Others sympathize
with the cause but decided to appear anyway. Among them are
pianist Charles Wadsworth, director of Spoleto's chamber music
series, and a regular in that series, African-American violist
Nokuthula Ngwenyama (noh-koo-TOO-lah en-gwen-YAH-mah). 5:00
HOUR = 1 SEGMENT = C2
We'll hear the performance that opened the chamber music series
at Spoleto U.S.A. this year, the Caprice on Danish and Russian
Airs by Camille Saint-Saens (kah-mee(yeh) sa(n)-SAH(N)Z). The
performers are flutist Tara Helen O'Connor, clarinetist Todd
Palmer, oboist Diana Doherty and pianist Charles Wadsworth.

Shostakovich at the Movies: In 1947 Dmitri Shostakovich wrote
the music for a film about a famous Russian surgeon, called
"Pirogov" (PEE-roh-goff). We'll hear a waltz from that score,
performed by the Moscow Chamber Orchestra. Constantine Orbelian
(or-BEE-lee-an) conducts. (Delos DE 3257) 5:00
HOUR = 2 SEGMENT = A3
The most familiar--and controversial--music by Soviet composer
Dmitri Shostakovich is his Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47. On
the surface it can sound patriotic and even nationalistic, but
is there a secret message of despair hidden in the finale? We'll
hear a performance from March 16th by the German Symphony
Orchestra and conductor Andrey Boreyko (bor-YEK-koh). It's from
a concert in Berlin's Philharmonie Hall. (Sender Freies
Berlin/European Broadcasting Union) 52:00
