Because Shut Up, That’s Why! Episode #003: Vintage Opera
In this episode, our panelists listen to selections from two vintage opera recordings as well as a bonus “wow track.” And by “wow” we mean anything from “wow, I’m glad someone recorded that” to “wow, I can’t believe someone recorded that.”
Because Shut Up, That’s Why! Episode #002: Silk Road Explorations with the Chicago Symphony
This week on the podcast, our panelists are listening to two tracks from a recent Chicago Symphony Orchestra release, plus offering commentary on solo bassist DaXun Zhang and his recording of Massenet’s “Meditation from Thais.” On this episode, panelists were not told what piece they were listening to, forcing them to guess piece, title, and composer, plus offer some insight on the performance.
Because Shut Up, That’s Why! Episode #001: Battle Of The Brahms
For our inaugural episode it’s a Battle of The Bands as our panelists listen to two different recordings of Brahms Symphony No. 1, Movement 1. Although the panelists are told in advance which piece they’re listening to, we don’t tell them who until after they’ve had the opportunity to comment on both recordings (and if you don’t want to spoil the surprise for yourself, don’t scroll down past the media player until after you listen to the entire podcast).
