Great! But....
Some great info, guys! Really interesting biographical information on the composers, and good takes on orchestral and symphonic works. That being said, (except for briefly with Dvorák) there was NO mention of choral music!! You can’t talk about Vaughan Williams, Bernstein, Copland, and Beethoven without mentioning their choral output!!
