Once Puccini's career as an opera composer bloomed, he had very little time to write purely instrumental music, which he regretted toward the end of his life. We'll hear the early melodies he later re-worked for his opera La Boheme in his Capriccio Sinfonico during our music this evening. Tune in at 8 p.m. on 91.1 and 107.5 FM and our music stream.
From WSHU's daytime and evening classical programs, Emily Boyer and Lauren Rico give you a heads-up on some of the best music they've selected.
