Easter: A Seasonal Journey... Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Overture

Sara Mohr-Pietsch explores the musical paths leading to Rimsky-Korsakov's joyful Russian Easter Overture, including Shrovetide plainchant and his star student, Stravinsky. Along the way, Sara surveys pieces in the curiously lopsided count of five, which Tchaikovsky and Dave Brubeck made their own. And there's also a step back in time to the year 1888 in the company of Arthur Sullivan and Augusta Holmès.
