Every weekday at 10 a.m., the hosts at Classical MPR play a standout work based on the theme for the week. We call these works Morning Glories.
We're declaring this week Bachtoberfest on Morning Glories, highlighting the music of J. S. Bach. Did you know that his home in Leipzig had an alcove especially for the beer barrel?
Every weekday in the 10 am hour, you can raise a glass with beverage of your choice to Johann Sebastian, as we listen to five of his works, played by an array of outstanding musicians.
Monday
