Description:

Compact Discoveries Program 2

Fred Flaxman attempts to turn dishwashing from a chore into, well, almost a pleasure, with his selection of appropriate music which can be enjoyed to the accompaniment of the rattle of pots and pans. The program includes Handel's Water Music, "Mack the Knife" from Kurt Weil's The Threepenny Opera, Victor Herbert's Pan Americana, and other tunes which relate by a very far stretch of the imagination to that necessary daily task. This is definitely a light approach to serious music!
