No barn burners, world premiers or excursions into the deep recesses of history this week. Just solid music playing by a great orchestra, guest conductor and legendary violinist, all from 1986.
This week it’s a concert by Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, guest conducted by Gunther Herbig and featuring Salvatore Accardo in music of Haydn, Stravinsky, Ravel and Beethoven.
Here’s what’s on the players:

Pretty much fills the bill for an anti-Road Rage Wednesday. I promise, I’ll dive into history next week.
Enjoy for now.
