Playlist for Tuesday, March 4

Thanks to Eric Nauert of WSVH for hosting Monday's show when I had to stay home on short notice. A water main burst at my son's preschool. Plumbing is now restored and kid stashed.

Here's today's Midday Music playlist. Three cello concertos. Two are concert tie-ins. (Alexander Russakovsky soloes in the Schumann cello concerto Saturday at Auburn University, and Atlanta Symphony principal cellist Christopher Rex performs the Barber concerto this weekend in Atlanta.) The Haydn's just there because once there were two, I compulsively wanted a third.
