The Shakespeare Connection
In his comedies, Shakespeare mixes humor, drama, and biting social commentary in ways that makes them both entertaining and richly rewarding.
Not surprisingly, it’s that very complexity that inspired composers, as well.
In this hour, music by Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Korngold, Walton and more, from As You Like It to Much Ado About Nothing, from Love’s Labour’s Lost to The Taming of the Shrew, from Twelfth Night to A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
