William Shakespeare wrote that, “Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.” Shakespeare didn’t mention that the so-called god of love sometimes used the kind of bow that’s used to play a string instrument. Cupid is the protagonist of an 18th century Italian Violin Sonata. You’ll hear the mythological love story about Cupid and Psyche is one of the musical love stories you’ll hear this week on Sunday Baroque, starting at 7 a.m. on 91.1, 107.5 and our music stream, and at 10 a.m. on 89.9.
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.
