Just thirty years ago, we thought we had the twentieth century fairly well nailed down; we thought we knew what was important, what wasn't and what the trajectory of art and culture was in this century. However, newly discovered works and artifacts -- such as this anonymous Russian Futurist painting dating from 1909-14 -- keep popping out of the shadows to challenge our notions about modernism. A good example of that is Samuil Feinberg's First Piano Concerto, premiered in 1932 but lost for more than seventy years. Here it is presented along with another pioneering piece of Ferruccio Busoni and two more conventional pieces to clear and sweeten the palate by Gustav Louis Ganne and Johann Strauss II. Length: 73 minutes.

I am a composer, writer, sometime filmmaker and longtime collector and producer of recordings. My radio career began in Cincinnati in 1978 and continues to this very day - I am in my sixth year as a radio host at WCBN-FM Ann Arbor. I have long sought to find a way to get my various shows on the air, and I hope that this is the way - thanks be to Cesar Perez for escorting me here. My interests run from Ancient Greek Music to the avant-garde, so really you can expect to hear just about anything on my show. If you hear something you don't like, just wait a few minutes and chances are you will.
