Cui's Orchestral Suite No. 2

Cesar Cui's most loved works, loved most by the public and his fellow composers of The Mighty Handful, were his operas. His orchestration, they all felt, was wanting. Though his Second Orchestral Suite does lack some color and texture, it pulses forward and reaches nice emotional peaks. 

Mark Munger first began listening to public radio as a child in the back of his Mom's VW Vanagon, falling in love with the stories on Morning Edition and Prairie Home Companion and the laughter of Click and Clack on Car Talk. Through KWIT, he was introduced to the great orchestras and jazz artists, the sounds of folk and blues, and the eclectic expressions of humanity. This American Life and Radiolab arrived in his formative college years and made him want nothing more than to be a part of the public radio world.
