Midday Music Playlist for 02/21/2012
It's not fair, exactly, but some holidays just have a lot more classical music than others. Mardi Gras--better known in some places as Carnival or Shrovetide--is one such lucky holiday. Today we hear many musical Carnivals (plus some unrelated Brahms and Grieg as a break from all the merriment). Let the good music roll!
