Pictured is Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel, born Alma Schindler, who inspired Gustav Mahler, married him and broke his heart. She was one of several muses to Classical composers that I'll feature today. Composers will include Mahler, Berlioz, Britten, Chopin, Wagner, Janá?ek, Robert Schumann and Clara Schumann. The rest of the week will include other inspirations that have led to great music by Classical composers.
To get more information on each CD that is played, you can follow the program in one of two ways:
1. Go to hawaiipublicradio.org. Click on Programs, then HPR-2 Schedule, then find today's Classical Pacific link at 3pm. Information on each album will be displayed as the music plays, often with the cover of the album showing, too.
2. Go to the HPR App on your smart phone (you can download it for free, if you don't already have it). Choose HPR2. As the program plays, you'll see the information on each album, just as you do on the website.
Enjoy!
