Bill visits more colleagues he’s had the pleasure of knowing and working with over the years. (Bill’s been in the music business a long time and has met many fascinating characters.) He wants to take us along to celebrate the times they spent together and the music they made. This week we’ll hear performances from Maureen Forrester, Charles Rosen, Franco Gulli, Leonard Rose, Peter Serkin, and Michael Tree. The Exploring Music team has had fun making these programs, and Bill feels they are among the most personal we’ve ever made.
