InterMISSION: Risks and Rewards

Today, we have our next episode of the new InterMISSION podcast from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.  Thus far, it's been very well-done with fairly interesting stories and wonderful music in the background.

This week's piece is "Risks and Rewards."  ​Several CSO musicians share stories about the musical risks and challenges they face during a concert, and how they are able to resolve those hurdles for the audience. As the host notes, "They reveal a few places in the orchestra’s repertoire that can be troublesome, and how they approach these risky moments to perform at their best."

There's an added feature of the InterMISSION podcast which I particularly love, that takes a very good podcast and makes innto into something special..  They provide a page with a Playlist of all the music you hear during the podcast. 

They not only offer a link to snippets of the music, but also the code so that I can embed the Playlist of full movements here.
