WPR Music asked our hosts what they listen to on their off-time. Stephanie Elkins, host of “Morning Classics,” wrote about her love of listening to and playing folk music.

For this recording, Javier Perianes performs on a modern Steinway piano, bringing even more life and sparkle to these timeless works.

Swedish clarinetist Martin Fröst has released a new album of music by Johann Sebastian Bach.

This new album features composers Jordan Jinosko, Christopher Reed, Alexander Unseth, David Fogel and Daniel Fisher.

The album includes the second and fourth symphonies by William Grant Still and the “Montgomery Variations” by Margaret Bonds.

A new genre of short, melodic symphonic music has been developed to appeal to younger and streaming audiences.
