7-22-17 Music In Maryland Happy Birthday Leon Fleisher!
Leon Fleisher turns 89 tomorrow! Frankly we are lucky to have him in Charm City! I decided to shell out some cash and buy the Sony box set of his recordings so I could share them with the WBJC audience. I also threw in the Britten with the BSO as it seemed appropriate. This doesn’t even scratch the surface of what this man has done…but it makes for 2 hours of fine listening!
