This week on Exploring Music we’ll be listening to Bill’s New Releases. Record companies love to send Bill their new recordings and we thought you’d like to hear some of them too! Sit down, relax and join us in sampling from a great range of new offerings from the Boston Symphony, Lang Lang, Gustavo Dudamel, and more. Bill’s got boxes of wonderful new recordings by artists ranging from rising stars to established masters and all manner of delightful esoterics in between.
