Classical Music Playlist, April 23, 2025
In 1935 Florence Price was living in a particularly rich and stimulating artistic environment in Chicago with Margaret Bonds and her mother in Chicago where their home was a meeting place for Black artists and musicians. It was here that Price composed her Piano Quintet in A-minor. In a new recording from the Takacs Quartet with pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin, it's today's Midday Masterpiece.
