Piece Description

Compact Discoveries Program No. 27 Host Fred Flaxman presents classical love music for Valentine's Day -- or any day. Selections include Josef Suk's "Song of Love," Prokofiev's march from "The Love for Three Oranges," Khrennikov's "Love for Love" ballet suite, and Grieg's song "Jeg elsker Dig." Love music by George Gershwin concludes the program. Gershwin himself tells the story behind the failure-turned-success of "The Man I Love." Complete script available here or at www.compactdiscoveries.com, where you'll find a complete list of Compact Discoveries programs, a one-page biography of the host, a station carriage list, Compact Discoveries articles, and pages of positive listener and program director comments about the series.
