Michael Feldman is host of Public Radio International's "Whad' Ya Know?" as well as author of the hilarious and historically dead-on liner notes to this disc. He claims to have had one semester of music appreciation in the seventh grade, but that must have been just the beginning. On the Serenata Notturna here he says, "Two hundred years from now it will knock off whatever people are wearing for socks." And later he points out that Mozart's was the time when "Kings, princelings, archdukes and archbishops, lacking record collections, kept stacks of musicians for mood music." The Mozart selections here cover a variety of genres: symphony, chamber music, and opera. The performances by various artists are quite decent. --Gwendolyn Freed

    "Happily, psychoanalysis existed only retroactively for Chopin, as he would have had to play a lot more concerts to pay for all the sessions he's had posthumously." So observes the humorist Michael Feldman, host of Public Radio International's "Whad 'Ya Know" show and author of the liner notes to this disc. Many of Chopin's most famous works appear here, including the Étude in G-flat, Op. 10, No. 5; the Prelude in E-minor, Op. 28, No. 4; and the Prelude in A-major, Op. 28, No. 7 (Les Sylphides). The performances by assorted pianists including Josef Hofmann, Shura Cherkassky, and Vlado Perlemuter are all fine, but what really makes this album worth having are the hilarious notes. --Gwendolyn Freed
