Playlist for Tuesday, April 1

The Academy of Ancient Music Berlin, the Jupiter String Quartet and the Czech Trio all perform in Georgia this week, and we hear them all on GPB's Midday Music.

Another highlight of today's show is Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto - played on the very Stradivarius instrument that almost premiered the piece in the first place. Back in the 1870s, this violin belonged to the great Leopold Auer, whom Tchaikovsky had in mind for the first performance of his new concerto. But when Auer took a look at the piece, he deemed it unplayable and passed. Vadim Gluzman, however, can handle the piece, and handles Leopold Auer's 1690 Strad as well, in this fantastic new recording. Note: Vadim Gluzman appears April 25 with the Augusta Symphony! ... And we've got the latest Bach from pianist Murray Perahia: Bach.
