Say hello to Thursday in New York. It will say hello back with gradually emerging sun and gradually falling humidity. Well have a beautiful day. Gradually emerging on WQXR this morning are Schumanns Arabesque for piano, Brahmss Academic Festival Overture, a gorgeous concertino for flute by Cecile Chaminade, a pair of morning pick-me-ups from Tchaikovsky, Berliozs Roman Carnival overture, and the Air on the G String for your morning Bach. David Dubal presents piano transcriptions of great opera music on Reflections from the Keyboard, tonight at 8. Davids program will be followed by pianist Yefim Bronfman playing Tchaikovskys Concerto No. 1 with Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic at 9. Our weekly Philharmonic broadcast tonight also includes Bernsteins Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and Ravels Alborado del Gracioso. Great music this morning, this evening, and in between, too; its yours for the listening at 105.9 FM, WQXR.org, and on your phone or tablet with the WQXR app.
