Join New York Philharmonic radio host Alec Baldwin for a playlist on the theme of love: love lost, love cherished, love forgotten, and unrequited love. Enjoy music by Massenet, Tchaikovsky, Bruckner, and others that draw from familiar literature, folklore, and fairy tales — think Romeo and Juliet and Sleeping Beauty. And if that doesn’t sweep you off your feet, stay tuned for Bruckner’s Romantic Symphony No. 4 and Scriabin’s Poem of Ecstasy.
