LC listings
The phrase “LC listings” usually refers to library holdings that are categorized according to the standard classifications of the Library of Congress, but in this case, I want to call your attention to the listings of webcasts that the Library of Congress offers. Among the musical items that caught my eye are these:
- Steven Swayne on William Schuman’s Seventh Symphony
- Walter Frisch on early Schoenberg
- Judith Tick on Ruth Crawford Seeger
- interviews with Jim Hall and Fred Hersch.
I haven’t yet had time to look at the above myself, so I make no claims for how interesting they might turn out to be. But the topics are certainly of interest.
